well hello

hi! its been a long time...i had a cat last time i updated this. well thats done! my life got instantly better once she found a new home with a village boy!

everything is going pretty well. i feel pretty settled now that i have been at post for about 8 months. my villagers no longer think i am complete idiot, just a slight one! I still work at the health hut pretty much everyday. i got to see my first live birth. it was totally amazing. all of sudden there is this person, it was crazy!

so far i've had a couple hedge hogs and a snake in my hut. i got made fun of a lot for trying to kill the snake on my own, which looking back i looked absolutely ridiculous! i had the stick to my pounder in one hand and a knife in the other running towards my chief's concession. it was pretty funny.

so right now i am just starting to work on some projects: working with mal-nourished children, building a grain bank, getting a new well in my village, fixing up my health hut and hopefully starting a garden in October.

right now, i will be around to answer questions (meaning i have Internet service) so let me know if you have a question or say "holler" if you want.

ok bye
