My pen ran out last night and there was no electricity so I couldn’t write anymore. So back to yesterday. It was just such a relief to talk to other organizations aside from PC to get a feel for what’s happening here. I am excited to get my post but I am also excited to figure out what I can do on my own. I have so many ideas. It will be a challenge to make them come true but so worth it. Off to language class.
So I did my laundry today and then deskansed (rested). Then we cooked spaghetti for our families and played UNO with them. The pasta was a he success. They loved it! The hardest part was convincing them that we DID NOT have to eat rice with the pasta. It was such a foreign concept to them. The other hard thing to get across was that we all eat together. We served them first and they didn’t know what to do. Then UNO went well. Funny story- to say “pick up cards” in Tetun, the word is “dada” Randy kept saying “tata” instead and that means "eat" in Tetun, everyone got a kick out of that mix up!
I am starting to get closer to my host family and neighbors. TC has a sister named Carmalita and she loves me and always sings with me. His other sister is Joahina, she is probably 12 and super into UNO, it is cute. They love that we are there Malaes.
