Hey everyone!
So I have survived my first few days in Bangata. I am living with a family and so far its going well. The language barrier is tough and culturally it is a big adjustment and still awkward, but my family is really nice. We have a great house, electricity and all, and I am getting used to the hole in the ground bathroom. I also shower out of a bucket in the same room the hole it. We call it the choo. I have 2 brothers ages 11 and 3 and a sister who is about 9. We have 4 cows, a cat, 2 dogs and chickens. The first night they killed a chicken for dinner- my brother ran around with the head for awhile, it was....interesting.
I am in class every day from 8 to 1, then we have lunch and usually study for awhile. I have slowly started helping around the house with the cooking (that takes like 4 hours) and chores, but we also have a house girl who does most of the work.
I'm really still adjusting since we are moving around so much but so far its going well. I miss my family and friends but really only 3 months left! Anyways thats it for now, will be around again in a week. much love
