Ekoshea-Well Done

Another Yoruba word I learned during our first week is Ekoshea, which is is "well done" in Yoruba.  Again, no idea of spelling.  It sounds like Echo-shay.  It's a common greeting.  Yoruba people will say it to others in their language and others tell us in English, "well done".  It's nice to hear during the day. :)

Wednesday and Thursday flew by.  We had a couple over after lunch each day to get to know them a little better.  Also we needed help eating those cookies I made Tuesday.  No weight will be lost here if I keep making cookies!  Matt's helper on the Baler project is a brother named Chinedu.  Matt and Chindedu get along well  and he is a good worker.  He has been trying to learn English expressions and will have new ones almost each day for Matt. Last week's were "Easy peasy lemon squeezy" and "Okey dokey."

Thusday evening we didn't have meeting due to an upcoming Assembly.  So Matt and I went to play tennis.  Neither of us deserved an Ekoshea after that.  At least we got our exercise running after the ball that we didn't often hit! :)

Friday morning was very humid and not too hot.  Someone wrote this on a window:

Hope you can see it, it says "TOO COLD"

Too cold?  I think not!!  I guess they haven't been to Wyoming in February!  We got off work early on Friday since we work extra for our meeting times off.  Since we didn't take our time on Thursday, we saved it for Friday.  I went to the pool!  Then we had dinner and more pool time.  In the evening there was a gathering around the pool for a goodbye for a couple that's leaving this week.  I would have liked to take pictures but evening pictures are not easy and I don't have that mastered.  We had a great time and stayed until the extreme hour of 10 PM! It felt so late to me!

The next day was the assembly.  We got some good pictures that we will share next time!
