July 4th Update From Renk, Sudan

I am still catching up on the updates from Sudan. Here is the one from Phoebe for July 4th:

Finished my third day of classes. Students are very eager to learn and know Hebrew very well, although we have just been reviewing concepts they already know thus far. Hospitality is incredible. The people are really beautiful inside and out.

No problems eating or sleeping. Most of my diet is carbs - tonight we had meat with diced potatoes which we eat with bread, rice and pasta which is similar to rice a roni. That is a typical Sudanese meal for us, along with a meat soup or pudding. Nothing has upset my stomach thus far.

We hope to travel to the Nile River this weekend. It apparently is not too far from where the Cathedral and college are located.
