To those who may be concerned, the lack of updates can mainly be accounted for by illness and sorting out course registration on very slow internet. After spending an evening in an outdoor hospital being poked with needles by nuns, I do not have malaria, but just as with everything, was told it might be "early stages". Rather than take the medication I was "greatly encouraged" to buy, I spent a day sleeping and my temperature dropped, and now I am just coughing. This results in my boys saying "bless you" about fifty times a minute because they have just learned the custom, cannot tell the difference between a sneeze and a cough, and won't be outdone by one another. They also extent the phrase to "May Lord Jesus bless you" and then start blessing eachother. With all the blessing going on, I'm sure recovery will be quick.
In other recent news, one of the cows had a baby (I hadn't noticed that she was pregnant) which is very sweet, a chameleon was found and hidden in a bag for Mama Loveness (much screaming), and six chickens had their head chopped off for dinner (this doesn't happen very often but the number of roosters is becoming excessive). Frankie managed to place small handprints in the fresh paint, and we made snowflakes to cover the ceiling of my classroom with a snow storm.
Another group of volunteers has come and gone, and new ones are arriving on Saturday.
I will try and update more later (hopefully later today).
