I made it!

I made it to Mozambique on Wednesday. The last few days have been hot but amazing!

We went without power from 6am on Sunday till about 11am on Monday. So I haven't had a chance to upload my pictures yet, or to really put my thought together.

I think we are going to be online tomorrow, so I will try to put something together to post then. My brain feels so scrambled I'm not sure what to write right now.

A few things Christmas was amazing. The older boys cooked for 37 of us in an outdoor "kitchen." We ate fried Chicken, fried potatoes, salad (cabbage and onions) and of course rice! The gifts consisted of toy trucks, dolls for the girls, backpacks, forks, and other small toys. Their excitement was amazing! We also had a dance party in my room. The boys rapped for me in Portuguese and some of them danced to Michael Jackson (before I knew I wasn't suposed to play secular music... oops...).

The boys all want to learn English, some of them speak a few words of it. But my helper Pedro who speaks no English introduced himself to me as Peter. My helper has definately come in handy, mainly after I set off a bug bomb and went back to my room to fine a dozen or so cochroches! I didn't even ask him to pick them up, but while I was opening my windows one fell and I yelled and he came running. He and a few boys picked them up with their bare hands! And they were still moving! Oh and it cracked me up bc they just threw them out the door. They must think I'm crazy.

My sleeping habits are really messed up. I fall asleep and then wake up around 2 or 3 am and fall back to sleep around 5 or 6. Last night was better, but without any power I had no distractions, until I heard the boys are 5am (they wake up at 4am!).

I haven't really gotten sick yet, I did throw up the first morning I was hear. I took my Malaria pill on a empty stomach (which I did at home), but I think combined with the heat it wasn't a good combination. I've been really carefule not to eat things that I think will make me sick or to drink the tap water. I did forget and eat Jello, so it was a huge answer to prayer that I didn't get sick. I'm not looking forward to that at all!

Ok well I will try to get my thoughts a little more organized for the next time I post.

Love Amanda
