Just add an "I"

A lot of people here speak some degree of englishi...and no that "i" is not a mistake. I'm not sure, but at some point a visitor must have taught them that every english word must end with a vowel. For example, a boy in my class is named John. Easy enough, right? HAHA nope. His name is said "Johni". A boy in B's class is named Godluck....said Good Lucki. Asking for a beer that you want cold, ask for it coldi. Someone does something well, you say goodi. The list goes on and on, but this sure is one thing that keeps us smiling and laughing all day.

Its tuesday afternoon here and just like in the states its back to work for the second day. We did however have a fantastic weekend. Most everyone here (about 20 or so) volunteers went on trips so that left 5 of us here. We spent the weekend eating, laughing, and teaching everyone to play pitch! Don't worry we still won everytime, but it was great to pass on the Wescott tradition of cards to others. This weekend also provided our first round of illness and accident. Bridget survived her first "African cold" and I survived a laundry fight with the air conditioner. Its hard to explain but while doing the laundry outside, I ran into the airconditioner and thank goodness for tetanus shots but I will have a scar to prove the battle :) Don't worry dad, mom we knew you wouldn't anyways. :)

While doing the laundry, we also developed a new language for determining if something was dirty or not. Mom, you would love this! So now, since we have to do all laundry by hand there is 1)Clean aka never been worn 2)Momclean aka wore once or twice but wearable 3)Beachclean: after several wears only acceptable to be worth to and from the beach 4)Africa clean: prior to this trip we would never wear this outfit so many times after sweating this much but here a little deodorant goes a long way. 5) Whew! Bag it...its done! Luckily we will be leaving all our laundry here so no worries for you!

Baadaye! Sisi tunapenda wewe!
