So my day was pretty good. I slept ok but for some reason woke up totally fatigued but I listened to some Graceland and that helped wake me up. I decided today would be a good day. So we had language class. I was supposed to get tested but they ran out of time. I had Mina as a teacher and she was SO much better. I told Nelson that I don’t want to have Sallus anymore. I feel bad but I need to learn Tetun. So after lunch we had 2 guest speakers. One was a guy who works for UNFPA (UN Family Planning Agency). It totally interests me. They work on population control via family planning. This country needs it SO BAD. There is an average of 7.8 kids per woman here- the highest in the world. They are going to distribute condoms to all clinics-I want to look into networking with them.
After that we had Nelson (the training directory) come and talk to us. The day before they had s fill out an evaluation and we all just let lose. It was constructive but harsh. I can tell you, I took about 1 hour to fill this out and I didn’t hold anything back.. They need to know!
So we came home, we stopped at a kiosk and had a cold soda. So we came home. I showered then there was a volleyball game happening. There was a kid’s game and a teenager game. TC and I joined the Teenager game until it got dark. I came in and talked with Antonia. My Tetun is coming along. I played a lot with the baby. Also Randy’s sister (Deonesia) is so cute. She s almost 2 and speaks in such a high voice-she cracks me up. She does this thing where she tenses her whole body and bugs her eyes out. I laugh so hard when I see her do that
