Well its week 2, so I figured it was about time I wrote on here. I havent read all the other posts so i apologize if i am reiterating what my teammates have already posted. Africa is amazing. Its hard for me to find the right words to tell you just how terrific this trip has been. The people that we have met have forever changed me. As well as the fact I will never take hot water or flush toliets for granted again. I think what I like the most is the singing and dancing. I wish I could take it home with me.
The team has been getting a long very well. At this point I would consider us family. Laughter is a constant part of the day, and there is hardly ever a moment of silence. I am very thankful for each one of them, and I hope that the friendships we are making are those that will last a very long time. Pineaple Fanta.
Time here moves very diffrently. I feel like I have been here for months when its only been a week. At the same time each day goes by very fast. The people here see time diffrently much diffrently then we do back home. They are not as caught up with a scdule and being on time, but instead they are much more concerned about the people they are talking too and the current task at hand. It is a much less stressful way of doing things.
Robin just brought out chocalate, so I think I am going to have to finish this blog entry tomorow. I am sorry for all the spelling and grammer mistakes... I have no spell check.
Sorry this took so long.
Love you all,
Mallory Petsche
