This is it...

So, Nothing too exciting has happened these last couple days. Well, I guess that is kind of a lie.

Sunday- I went to church. It was a "charismatic-ish" one, but in my opinion it wasn't that charismatic. It was good though! Worship was more then half of the service and afterwords we went to McDonald's for ice cream just to chat. It was a hot day so it was a lot of fun. Good day. The rest of it was pretty much spent studying for my Zulu test.

We also went under the waterfall to cool off, which then lead to the waterhole to go down the water slide. It was definitley filled with people slipping, a couple leeches, and some good laughs.



Monday- Classes again. Super fun. It was an alright day, I had class most of it and when I didn't have class, I studied. Not too eventful.

Tuesday- Sawubona (Hello) Zulu test. I def. think I studied more then I have in my whole life on this day. However, this day we also visited 2 service sites that we can choose to work at while we are here. One was a preschool with some of the cutest kids ever, and the other was an organization that has a Christian school, a battered women's shelter, and a homeless outreach. If I choose that one, I would help in a classroom in the morning, teaching kids about our lifestyle in America, teach P.E., and also hang out with women later in the day that only really know men that are abusive. They said that the students who chose that last semester became super close to the women and were also fluent (or almost fluent!) in Zulu after because that is all they speak there. It is one that I think I would enjoy working at.

After we visited them, the studying was taken up a notch. I was actually a little bit nervous for our first test. We had to know A LOT of general questions, how to answer them differently, and over 60 verbs.

It went alright, I thought I got a C or something on it, but during our dinner break, our teacher graded it and I ended up getting a 86% which in my opinion is pretty good! Especially when tests are about 20% or so of our grade. It went well and I was definitely pleased with myself.

That is pretty much all that has been happening here. Random people going on walks through the reserve, studying and taking classes, and random game nights/sport playing outside. It is going really well here and I am having lots of fun, and learning a lot! I am loving all the people I am with and I am excited to get to know all of them better.



Hope all is well!
