2/18/18 I figured I would just do another post today because Sunday is really the only day we have to ourselves. The rest of the week we are in classes and busy most of the day. I took some photos of my host family and of me peeling mangoes to make fruit juici. It drew quite a crowd, but not nearly as big as the crowd that gathered this morning to watch me wash my clothes in buckets. They were all joking with me, and of course, I was giving it right back. It was fun, but it is amazing to me how hard the work is. I was tired after washing my clothes, mama washed her whole families, then the dishes while she kept her charcoal stove going for the meals and ran her business in between. So impressive, and yet so happy. Reinforces my belief that we don't know how lucky we really are.
The photos are: my host family Rehema, Pascal and Ivan. Rehemas shop, my host home, me and the mangoes, and Rehema cooking on her charcoal stove.
Great pictures and commentary, Brian. Your enthusiasm for learning and reaching out to new friends is so evident. I love that the people you are meeting are so friendly and embracing your being there.
