Day Nineteen; Monday, March 24 '08

---

Slept in again today because I didn't need to be at placement until 1:00. I had the weirdest dreams last night. I dreamt that I came home really early and realized it. I found a baby in my car that I fed bread, cheese, and water. The FBI made me keep the baby until they could find the mother. I brought the little baby to Champps where the expos now had to fry the burgers. Weird thing is that Matt ALSO had a dream about going home early.

I went on a bike ride to run errands in the morning with Emily. We brought fabric to Beatrice, a dressmaker and went to the market. I figured out who my bunny was! I got fabric to make a dress for my second gift and I figured out my bunny was Garrett. We had so much fun for that secret bunny stuff we've all talked about making up holidays to continue the tradition.

On the tro-tro ride to Christ, Dallas Michelle told us another Eugemot story. A two year old girl was playing with metal that she was clicking together making an awful screeching noise. When Dallas went to look what it was she saw that the TWO year old girl was playing with razorblades. I'm surprised kids don't get seriously injured more often here.

Upon arrival at Christ, Raymond told us we weren't bringing the kids to the river. When the adults went to the river Raymond pulled me in to the water and made me swim. I got really crabby. My clothes were soaked the rest of the afternoon. We danced and listened to music in teh park after swimming.

When we got back to Christ, Emily got pooped on by Emmanuel and I spend all of my time playing with Linda. Linda is a crazy little girl who I love to death. She doesn't talk though...I think she's autistic. I'm working really hard with her to say "sister Kacie" and I really want it to happen before I go home. Just that would be worth every hardship I faced in getting here. She's so cute. Adam, another teacher, told her in Ewe that if she would say "sister Kacie" I would bring her toffee every day for the rest of the week. She grunted.

The other group had a pretty crazy day at the waterfall. Their purses were stolen and when the cops found the guy who stole the, they beat him nearly to death. A man drowned and things got really crazy.

At night we went out and a woman grabbed me and wouldn't let my arm go. She asked me what my name was and told me that I was very beautiful and she wanted to give me to her brother. Sick.

Miss everyone! Hope the snow isn't driving you crazy 😊 It's nine in the morning here and well over 80 degrees.

Kacie, are you sure you weren't just having a dream of a lady grabbing your arm? And in that dream it was really me wanting to give you to MY brother?!
