In the morning I set out walking to church. The road was dusty and the sun began to feel hot. Before I had gone very far, along came a motorcycle taxi driver, who took me as far as the market for a fair price. 'Ride home with me when you come back,' he said.
When I reached the church I saw a couple there I did not recognize at first. They were in fact my landlord's relatives! This surprised and encouraged me a good deal. They had brought their baby girl with them as well.
On my way home the same motorcycle taxi driver met me again and took me home. I spent the afternoon reading online and fell asleep. The heat grew until I woke up, feeling weak and weary.
