Step Lightly! Thanks!



So it's been awhile since my last post....but things have been going really well! Right now is rain season...which is...interesting? As I was making my way to the main road today I realized the bridge is out now. Everyone just told me to use the boards but I told them I would fall into the river...and they laughed. Then the guy in the water helped me across, thus making him my hero. I told him that...then he asked me for money. I tried to tell him as a 'hero' he shouldn't ask for cash, but that didn't really translate. Anyway! I made it across safe the 'treacherous waters' (which was really like maybe a foot of water) and all is well.

Right now I'm teaching English at the secondary school again and I love it. The students are hilarious and we have a lot of fun. Soon I'll start teaching math and I'll have a health club on Fridays. We're working on getting water pumps built and also a dispensary! I'm really excited about everything that's going on and I think the village is as well.

Anyway, things are going really well! Hope things are going well in the States!
