Doing Life

Since the team has left I've basically been doing life with the Ellises, and helping in any way I can (which is usually watching the kids and/or helping make dinner). On Sunday I got to go to church with them, and there was another American visitor there who will also be here for a few more weeks, which is pretty cool.
Shelbyanne, Emily, and Donovan are all doing great! During the day I watch them, and yesterday I started sitting in on Rob and Amy's Swahili lessons. My first lesson I learned parts of the body (head, hair, neck, arms, elbows, etc... As many as we could learn in an hour). I also learned some names of animals. Today I learned more animal names, verbs, reviewed body parts, and learned colors. I enjoy the lessons, it's a fun way to learn.
Another part of life here is the power outages. Normally it's just an hour or so every so often, but it (literally) just came back on after almost 40 hours! Luckily, we used the last of the meat for dinner tonight, so we didn't have to worry about food spoiling, but of course it was still inconvenient to say the least. No lights, chargers, cold drinks, or air conditioning/fans. I'm so thankful it's back on!
Well, that's about it for now. If anyone has a question about life here, feel free to ask! I miss you guys, talk to you soon!
