Things are going.

Do April showers brong May flowers? I sure hope so. It's started to rain every now and then and its kinda nice because I dont like when it's ridiculously hot. So things have been going well. Things are going well if they are better than last time I posted a blog.

The other day I finally found a host family and I'm very excited to learn more about them and learn more about my community as well from them. It made me really happy when I first met my mom because she was very welcoming and very sweet and she had a good relationship with the past volunteer which is very lucky for me. And every time I go there I feel less stressed out.And she's offered to help me with my Pular which is great. It's very slow going I forget most things almost instantly. No kidding, but she is really patience with helping me cause i can't make a lot of those sounds. lol.

Work is going well as well. I'm learning alot from hands on work at the health center and working more specifically with pregnant women, which is kinda nice. I don't like being at the health center all day, i hope that i can eventually worl more within the community and with the youth.

So now my favorite thing about my village is that no matter where I turn I can usually find a welcoming friendly face. My least favorite thing is that often times I sit amongst a group of people speaking only Pular and can not understand anything because they speak so fast. But petite a petite I'm going to learn and hopefully be able to do my work at the hospitol in Pular.
