In Africa

Hello friends!
I only have a few minutes at this internet cafe,
but I wanted to tell you all that Africa is amazing! It's kind of just like I pictured it, only... more real? haha. The childen follow me everywhere, always hugging me and wanting to hold my hands. they sit in my lap everytime I sit. I was learning clap songs by one of the girls yesterday.

My Portuguese is getting better. The bible student pastors have been teaching me. Some of them are teaching me Makua as well (which is needed when in the bush, because bush people don't speak Portuguese. ) Things here are different. Our feet get so dirty that I sleep in a sandy bed (Because the water is often off when it's time for bed) We went to the bush lastnight. We danced with a whole village Mozambiquen style which was awesome! Didn't do much medical outreach lastnight. (we do those usually on the weekends) We feed the village children every afternoon and people come from all over for church every sunday! (hundrends of people!)

The people in my casa are neat. I enjoy all of them. every morning I walk outside and have a beautiful view of the ocean. (a lot different from Kansas)

Rules of the road are... there are no rules. People drive as fast as the want, and people never have the right away. Plus, the biggest truck always wins! Well, my time is up. I'll see if I can update sometime next week. Things are going well! and I already feel at home! Prayers for the language would be good though.

Love you all!
