Day 2 in Abomosu


We went for a run through the village early this morning.  It was hot, but we didn’t care.  We were too excited to stay inside and what better way to explore the village.

Everyone was out and about, waving hi to us and asking us how we were doing.  Then, later, we got to go out and play with the children.  Oh my gosh! The kids are absolutely beautiful.  They would follow us wherever we would go.  Once we sang, “If you’re happy and you know it,” they wouldn’t let us leave! They just wanted to keep singing and clapping their hands over and over again.  It was adorable! They also love getting their picture taken, so I have plenty of their gorgeous little faces on my camera now.

My favorite thing today though, was when the little girls wanted to play hand game.  It reminded me of India.  I taught them concentration, and they taught me a hand game about our grandma, and brushing your teeth, and washing your face.  To be honest I couldn’t understand what they were saying! But it was fun.

Bugs! Let me just take a few seconds to address the issue.  I’m trying to be a brave big girl, but I’m freaking out inside.  They are everywhere.  And the spiders I have seen crawling around the house are NOT small by any means.  Don’t even get me started on the mouse and cockroach we found in the kitchen.

Well that was my two seconds of complaints! Right now I should be learning how to teach about malaria so I can teach some of the teachers in the village about it!

Tomorrow we are hiking to a waterfall! I’m so excited!
