Week Three of training!
Things are finally getting rolling. I
feel more comfortable in my family : ) and am getting into a routine.
Things are always changing in my house – we constantly have
brothers and sisters visiting from Yaounde and Douala, staying for a
few days, and heading back. Staging is really getting busy too, hence
the little time I've had to blog.
We have so much work! I'll post
pictures of my demo plot and tree nursery after they start looking
like real things (maybe another week once the seeds start
sprouting?), but that took all of last weekend. We also have two
other technical assignments and a cross-cultural assignment. Beaucoup
de travaille!!
We're all definitely just taking it one
day at a time and I'm trying really hard not to feel overwhelmed.
Though the past two days have been a little stressful because I
couldn't get water! The well was always locked! The well is located
inside a family compound so when no one is home, they naturally lock
the gate. So the past two days, I went there after school to no
avail! But this morning, I finally got in there to get water. An
ordeal. It is SUCH an advantage to have water at one's house! Its
definitely preparing me for post though, because it is likely I will
have to walk to a water source for all my water also. It really makes
you think about how much water you use. Especially bathing and using
the toilet (we have a bucket flush toilet – its pretty much exactly
like it sounds).
Saturday we are going to be issued our
bikes! Finally! Even though I have no idea where I'm going to put
mine (we keep ALL of our belongings in our room) but it will be nice
to pedal around town sometimes.
All of your love and best wishes is
greatly appreciated! Anyone who wants to call me is welcome: ) I'm
going to post again soon with pictures and hopefully a movie of my
super cute nephew!!!
