Today was so much fun! As Alyssa said, we took the kids on a swimming outting and they had a LOT of fun! The girl I brought is such a sweetheart and I absolutely adore her! She was so excited to go swimming, but when we got there she was very scared in the water. I totally understand her fear since these children aren't used to being in the water. When we first got there I cried a lot...I took my shoes off to go into the pool and I had a whole bunch of huge ants bitting at me feet...it stung a lot and I think I scared my little girl when she saw her auntie crying! I am very thankful she didn't get bitten though! It was not a pleasant experience!
I decided to come into town today to call my family. I haven't talked to my dad since I was back home! On my way here, I met a very interesting boda driver. I was very clear that I didn't want a ride, but he didn't seem to get my determination to walk...and then he asked me to marry him! Don't be alarmed, marriage proposals are quite common here. They don't really mean too much since they don't even know you...it was interesting for sure. I tried to be polite...but it's just so weird to me how bold these people are to say whatever is on their mind. It's definitely a new adventure here every day!
Kwagala,

EM! I'm so thankful that you aren't coming home as an engaged woman... we'd need to meet that man & approve first! :)
