Dorothy has informed me that the village Imam has banned loud music from baptisms. Dorothy said it's all the village is talking about, and I believe her. Truly, this is the best news I've gotten in awhile.
Every baptism I've been to (or heard from my hut), is the same thing. Donkeys arrive hauling enormous speakers around 11 am. The music is then blasted non-stop until around 2 the next morning. If there's no electricity a generator is used. If there is electricity, sometimes you get lucky and there's a power-outage.
In other village news, apparently one of the credit unions is "cleaning" their books. People who owe money are being arrested. I'l glad I'm not there for that one, I might feel obligated to chip in to help people avoid arrest. I can't afford that right now.
