Routine

Well this week kind of flew by way faster than I could have imagined. I apologize that the weekend came and went and I sort of forgot to share anything. Take this as a good sign! We are truly like a little family here in the house I am staying in. We cook together, eat together, pray together, watch countless hours of TV together, work in the garden, go shopping…. we do life together. It’s been a blast. This update will be rather short as not much new has happened, but a lot of learning has taken place and I am beginning to settle in.

My, "what the heck am I
supposed to do next" face

This week I have officially been convinced to wake up at 5:30 every morning to jog. God is obviously doing big things in my life because if you know me you know this doesn’t happen haha. Here are a few photos of life here… I’ve been getting pretty good at cooking sadza, one of the staple foods here. The phrase, “she’s white on the outside and black on the inside” has officially been stated, so I guess that means I’m doing quite well. You can see me cooking this playdough like substance in these photos. I have some pretty great and patient teachers, and have enjoyed learning to eat it with… basically everything.

Sadza success

Lastly for now, one of my favorite things has been venturing into town to go grocery shopping every few days. I have been blessed with some great friends and I am excited to travel with them in the weeks to come. Hopefully I will have some more exciting stories soon!

Learning points:

• “Just now” means something is about to happen in the next hour, not “something happened just now.”
• I am still not a morning person no matter how much I get up to run.
• KKK in a text means HAHAHA not the pointy hat wearing people...
