These past few days have been really interesting, though not too much has happened really. Thursday and Friday were filled with Swahili and new verbs. Lots of new verbs, verbalicious verbs. It has been a little tough lately because of all of the new verbs and the tenses. Though it has been a lot of fun. This next week should be very different as well. Every week we get a new teacher so it is always kind of exciting to find out who we have each week.
Today we went to the youth prison and then to the cattle market. We went to the youth prison to drop off a microscope for the prison to have so that they can check blood for malaria. The prison was interesting because there were no gates or walls holding in the prisoners. It was almost like the prisoners were on a honor system, though the guards there are always on patrol. The prisoners are treated very well. Unlike back in the states it would appear that they are treated like human beings. They live together in a community that seems welcoming, oddly enough.
The cattle market was a lot of fun too. We had the opportunity to buy things like knives, fabric, clubs, shoes...pretty much whatever you wanted. Even though I got dehydrated about half way through, I still really thought that it was a good time. For lunch we had goat and sodas. it was delicious. We even had a couple of vegetarians with us who ate goat as well. It was nice to see everybody enjoying each other's company and having a great time. We had a lot of fun.
Tomorrow after church we are going to Luka's for a cross raising (whatever that consists of) with his family. It should be a very uplifting time seeing Luka's family and hanging out with the kids that are around. I really enjoy playing with the kids at all of the villages and the different places we go.
My brain is pretty scattered, so I think that I am going to stop typing.
Peace,
PHW
