Another weekend in the village well spent after a long busy eventful week. A little extra sleep, a trip into the market to check it out and look around again, a little stroll up the street and back as I couldn't get my strolling buddy to go any farther (it was really hot, and apparently you don't go anywhere without a purpose out here), a nice little nap, a yoga session that was a struggle to get through, some social time, time nurturing the parrots, a drive on and off the road looking for the boys who went parrot hunting again, time spent with Hailey and her best friend Mingnoit doing "wreck this journal" followed by a wonderful cruise on the Motos. I squished so many small bugs in my bed last night that my computer screen  is covered in guts and my sheets feel like they are full of dirt..... Time to shake them out and wash them!  This week was full of school and injuries for the people in town. I go to ride into town twice. Once to go have people checked for typhoid and malaria and another time to bring things to the people who were brought to the hospital on Friday. The hospital doesn't hardly supply anything for the people. They have to bring their own food and cooking supplies. And they have to sit around and wait until Monday to get any work done because the doctors don't do anything on the weekends. And they also didn't provide enugh beds so there was about 6 people in two beds. Kim left mosquito nets but they were unable to hang them because the was nothing to hang them from. We had a couple of huge rain storms called the mango rain. And now we have mangos growing! We had a huge gecko spying on us during dinner he had to be about 10.42 inches! We caught one of the rats on a sticky trap with one lots more to get. The trash got burned and the  neighbor also was burning a spot for her garden  so sometimes it got smokey. It was a great weekend spent in the village and it felt long that was an extra bonus! Pulling for another good week. Hope to get a lot accomplished.

  1. I'm glad you had a nice weekend Jennica. Mr. Martin suggests getting a crab next time you are at a river and let it loose in your room. They eat bugs, ants, spiders etc. Praying you have a great week!
