Today I slept in a little later till about 7:30, for breakfast I had oatmeal again. After that Debbie, Ralph and I walked to the store, which is about a 15 minute walk. I bought some food for me and then I bought some stuff for my family.
When we walked there it was pretty hot but yesterday when we were up on the mountain it was a little chilly and even today its hot when the sun is out but when the sun isn't out its breezy and really nice. Some of the people here were wearing jeans and sweatshirt yesterday because it was so cold even though it was just like 60 or so.
After we got back from the store Mona braided my hair. It took a long time like an hour and half maybe but I really like it and also I wanted it done so that I wouldn't have to worry about washing my hair ;)
For lunch I hate some bread and Nutella and a PB&J and some crackers. After that we started getting stuff together for the clinic on Saturday. We put all the medicines they had on the table and just sorted through stuff that was expired. After that we had to count some pills so that we could give people like 30 vitamins or 24 Tums- so they have things to take with them.
We'll probably just hang around tonight- I think it's going to rain. Tomorrow we are going to the Baptist Mission, not exactly sure what it is but I'm sure I'll find out. Tomorrow night another team of about 15 are coming so I'll have to share my room for a couple nights.
So far I have really loved being here. It's such a different culture then ours and it really opens your eyes. I'm just so blessed to been able to come down here and work with really amazing people!
And I'm sorry, I wanted to add pictures but I don't know if I'll be able to while I'm here. If not I'll have an album on Facebook for sure.
