Miscommunications

The girls took some material to the tailor for dresses-hand signals & several calls from the tailor to Pr Wallace-we will see what they get. also, the girls were going to learn once & for all how to wrap their heads like the beautiful headdresses at the wedding-well......someone came with hair supplies, fake hair & started braiding like the fancy updos at the wedding (it will be interesting to see how they look & how much hair is pulled from their roots when they return!). They are going on a walk today this is about 40 minutes each way (now you know, in TZ you are always told "only 1 more hour" & then 3 hours later.....)
They were at a preaching point this morning & a car pulled up, they had been looking for them to track them down. They were told that "Debbie needs to be wired!!!" (this could not wait until they returned to the church obviously)......hmm, like I'm not "wired" enough already. As you remember, Debbie (Debi) is the autoclave.
Basically everyone speaks Swahili & some have leaned English. Prior to learning Swahili they usually speak a "mother-tongue". There are 2 main tribes in this area Hehe ("hay-hay") and Bena-mostly Bena (speaking kihehe or kibena) so it makes it confusing sometimes when they blend Swahili & Kibena. Now they have Bena names (not sure what they are yet)
