IM ON!!!

its been awhile since i have been on! the family that has the youth group at there house have been so amazing to let me use there computer/internet today, and let me tell you, its as fast as if i were at home. well, things have been really busy...yet not? haha. things during the day go really really quick, but evenings go by really slow. so my house mates and i went and bought some books and movies to entertain us and let me tell you, they are coming in handy!

so, i am living in a guest house with three other girls, shayna, nicky, and edith.

in the main house lives the rest of the family, in total there is 9 of us, plus all there friends that come through which is a lot of people every day, plus everyone that works at there house. they have a nanny, who cooks and cleans, they have someone that cleans and irons, and a gardener and 2 gaurds. and yes, we have gaurds and big gates, thats what almost everyone has. plus 2 dogs, one that i dislike very much and who does not like me, and a little one!

the past few weeks have bit a little crazy as kat has been sick with malaria so i had to get rides with kathy, so some days i havent stayed the full day.

yesterday i went to lake malawi which is beautiful. we saw monkeys! really close as well. i think the 3 of us girls are a little too adventurous haha.

tomorrow we are going to blantyre for 3 days, and next we are going to there grandmas village and staying the night, and the week after we are climbing a mountain and staying in a hotel mid way up!

now the center: my most exciting moment so far! the boy i tend to work with, he is deaf and he is behavioral because he cant understand people. so i have been teaching him sign language, not only has he sat in his seat for the entire morning one day without yelling at one of the girls he oesnt get along with...but he signed FOOD to me!! i was so exciting! then he ran out got some food and came back. we understood eachother. soooo exciting!! i was thrilled.

anyways, i better get going, one of the banda girls should be here soon to walk back with me...it's not safe to walk alone.

ps. as of tomorrow, i left ottawa a MONTH ago. wow!
