Woke up and started the morning at Christ Orphanage. Because it was Good Friday we didn't have class and went to play in the field across the street. A lot of extra volunteers came to Christ which was nice, as their placements were not operating because of holiday. Taking them to a field was actually a bad idea. In the middle of the field was a Roman Catholic church where people were praying, and the kids frequently ran inside screaming and hollering because they liked the echo of their voices (the churches there don't have doors.)

After Christ we ate lunch and went to the market where I bought gifts for my secret bunny, Diana (we did a gift exchange kind of like secret Santa.) When we left the market we suffered walking through the worst dust storm I have ever seen. At the market, we met a little bloy named Sammy with Downs Syndrome. He followed us around everywhere. The locals were pretty vicious to him which was really upsetting.

After supper that night we watched the movie "Juno," courtesy of black market movies. Gotta love 'em 😊 Dallas Michelle told me that I reminded her of the main character because she thinks I'm intelligent, funny, and a huge smartass, so I thought that was pretty hilarious.

After the movie we went to Malaysia's and I got my picture taken with Miss Ghana on the way to another watering hole.

In the taxi ride home our driver hit a goat and kept driving over it. We could feel it moving and hear it moaning under the vehicle. He then insisted the goat was still alive and it just hit the bumper.

Miss you all!!!!!

DISTURBING!
KACIE!!!!! That part about the goat makes me upset, distraught, grossed out, mad, and I feel like throwing up. You know how I don't like hurting poor little animals! And can you bring that downs syndrome kid home with you?! I would take care of him!
