I just woke up and I am in a really good mood for some reason. I woke up on my own time and I had time to brush my teeth. It felt good. I think today is my last day with clean underwear. I really need to wash those when I have time. The pastor's wife and other ladies from the church in Maypuco have been washing like 1 shirt a day for everyone, but not underwear. So yep...
I also haven't showered in a few days. Showering takes a while here because of the well, and the bucket showering in the middle of the backyard visible to everyone. Even the creepy neighbor with the machete. Did I talk about the toilet yet?
Well, the balance beam at training camp prepared us for that. A thin wooden sidewalk, elevated off the ground leads to the bano. At night, in the rain....worst time to go to the bathroom.
Today is my last day with the 3 and 4 year olds...Yes! It is so hard to teach them English....and very very awkward. so yay! Almost done... but I have no idea what tot teach them this morning. I think I have to be there at 7. But don't worry, I will pull it off somehow. My legs are now covered in flea and fly bites. For some super natural reason, mosquitoes don't bite me! But apparently, the fleas and flies don't care. Oh my, I just realized how bad I smell.
Did I tell you how much I love this culture? 8:00 means 8:30 or whenever you finish breakfast, and no one cares. We are all so worried about looking modest and all that crap, but they could are less what we look like and dress like. The leaders are real worried about what our hair looks like. Seriously....it's hard-core. It doesn't matter though.
