quick update

I am feeling a lot better since getting out of the hospital. Pretty much feeling like I usually do in Canada now, so I'm thinking that is a good sign. We are still in Leo for a few more days and then Back to Boura. I'm looking forward to being back in the village. I miss my host family a lot and like working at the orphanage there better because the kids are older and therefore more interesting. I also miss Philbert a lot because he is the best kid ever.

Overall though I feel more at home in the village. Here in Leo my host family waits on me hand and foot and I'm pretty sure they have two servants. In Boura I actually do a lot of stuff on my own like get my shower water or do my laundrey. I feel like I am more a part of the family and everything that is going on in Boura rather than just a guest. Leo is pretty great anyway though and I am glad that we got to experience more of the city for a bit (it is the capital of the province). Plus having electricity for awhile has been a good break.

I am now half-way done! Loving it but also really looking forward to getting back to Canada where we are so priviledged and things are so much easier.
