FULL HOUSE

Last night the other half of our crew joined us here in Abomosu…That means there are 19 of us living under one roof.  It’s a little squished but very fun! You would think doing dishes with this many people would be a pain, but somehow we have found fun, maybe a little too much fun, in working in the kitchen together!

This morning we taught in the schools again! Emily and I have been teaching the children about how to take care of their cuts and burns.  It’s amazing how respectful the school children are here in Ghana.  Every time we enter the classroom and say “Good Morning! How are you?” the kids stand and respond, in unison, with, “Good Morning! We are fine.  And you?” They also stand up whenever they answer a question or read something aloud.  I was pretty impressed.

I’m starting to peel. My awesome farmer’s tan is going away…slightly.  But let me tell you the best thing about living in Africa! You don’t ever need lotion! It’s amazing! You get out of the shower and immediately are moisturized with the climate’s extreme humidity.

The weather really hasn’t been too bad…hot and humid, but either it’s getting cooler or I’m getting used to it.  The power goes out everyday.  Usually its for only a few minutes at a time, but often it can be all night… We have a generator, but when that runs out of gas…Oh well!

Tonight, we went to play football (soccer) with all the little kids again.  They are all so good… and so stinking fast.  Emily and I played with the cutest little girls named Jemima, Alice, and Rya.  They are so sweet! I will have to post pictures of them later!

Anyways, it's getting late! I should go to bed since we are getting up at 5 a.m. tomorrow morning to go work in the corn fields! It should be an interesting experience! I'm excited!
