Africa Day 6

We got up super early to go to church.  The church website said there was a ward 26km outside of Roma.  Unfortunately, we were never able to find it.  We were very bummed.  It would have been very interesting to go to church in Lesotho.  We continued on to Semonkong Lesotho.   The drive was breathtaking.  There were tons of little villages along the way with Rondavels (small round houses).   We stayed at the Semonkong Logde.  We stayed in a double Rondavel, two Rondavels with a small kitchen in the middle.  We at least had power and running water.  Most of the villagers don’t.  There is power in the village because there is a dam nearby, but it is too expensive for most of the people.  They do not have running water either.   There are a few taps in the village that the more well to do people have put in and they can buy water from the tap, or go down and get it from the stream.  When we got there, we went rappelling or abseiling as the British call it.  We did the practice rappel.  It was only 60 feet.  Everyone did it 3 times.  I was so proud of Katie and Garret.  They were so scared but they did it anyway.  Wait until you see what we were practicing for.
