As far as things are going here, it's just kind of clockwork.
Lokutshu and I have gone on a lot of splits this week with members and its' just been hectic!!!!!
We have met with a lot of people and that's cool. There are these kids that I just love seeing, Ebenezar and Jeannett. They found us teaching Ebenezar's older brother and well, they just hopped into the lessons. They love seeing us and whenever we pass them on the street they always give us a hug or something like that.
This week there has been a big festival in Odoben. So, that really messed up our week cuz a lot of people were busy, drunk, or just hard to find. Now that the festival gets over today, it'll be easier to go see people and visit with them. There have been a lot of weird customs here for that. Men dress like women and women dress like men. They have music playing and people like to drink a lot. Tons of people have been coming to Odoben to celebrate and that's pretty cool. Seeing a lot of people that I've never met before so that's cool. The only downside is that I'm white and everyone thinks that I can buy them stuff and that I'm just there to have fun. Also walking around is annoying cuz, well, everyone can seem I'm new and that's just kind of weird cuz a lot of people stare. So, that just it. We have had some lessons and we have been working hard here.
We went to farm on Saturday. I brought coco back on my head, the only downside is that since I've never carried anything on my head, I'm having crazy neck problems. I've been taking a lot of pain medication but it's just painful. We have had a good time in looking around and yeah. It has been raining a lot here so it's hard to go out sometimes.
Mom, if you are sending a package, make sure you have NoBite in there!!!! Chai, I'm getting eaten alive!!! I'm very sure I have malaria in my system, but Doxy is keeping it down. I'd also love some more photos of all of you so yeah.
Hope you all are doing ok back home, and I hope you're not doing anything too crazy without me haha!!!!!
