New People

This past saturday 3 new people came to join us. First of all thats crazy becasue i can't really believe that i have already been here for 6 weeks and i only have like 5 more left. its also pretty funny tho because they are all very tired and confused and don't really know whats going on and that is exactly how i felt when i got here so its nice to not be that person right now. its also funny because all of their white t-shirts are soooo white and its a little bit shameful to see how dirty our clothes really are. the new people are cool but i don't really know them that well so thats all i have to say about that. meanwhile the gardening continues to be excellent. in most of the villages we are in right now they already know how to make them so we basically just come and bring seeds and then we get to hang out with the people for a while and jsut chat with them which is really fun. this morning we went to a village and presented all of our projects to them to see which ones they were interested in and they said that they wanted all of them and that they want us to come back every week for about a month to teach them and build gardens with them so thats pretty exciting. oh ya yesterday we got home from the weekend and found two or three mice in our house which normally would really freak me out but something weird has happened to me and i don't even care that much anymore. its more just annoying rather than gross or scary. however one of the boys killed one of the mice. i believe he did it with a fly swatter so that must have been interesting. well my thoughts seem to be all over the place and nothing monumental has really happened recently hence the reason this post is probably so boring. basically everyday is great even if nothing crazy happens. i love it so much and the weather has really cooled down since we first got here. so thats nice. oh ya i have more pics but not with me right now but i'll work on it for next time maybe.
