Sometimes people staring at you ALL the time gets old.....

.....but I will never get tired of the kids here! They are so sweet. They just run up to you and grab your hands and walk with you and stare at you and it is so endearing. I can only say so much to them because they don't speak much english and I don't speak much swahili (yet) but we still have fun. I like to dance when we pass shops with music and they like to laugh at my dancing. Pretty great.

Anyways, with all the i-to-i drama about placements, etc, I am not 100% sure that I will be able to continue my work at the church. I am fighting too though, and so is the pastor, David. I should know something about it by tomorrow. I've also asked to be moved to a new placement because all of my Kitaa kids are at school in the afternoon except the two little ones who take a nap. I plan to go back to Kitaa though at least every other weekend to visit and take the kids out places. My new potential placement (which I really really want, but it might not fit my schedule)is at Njoro kindergarten. Two of my friends, Aimee and Emmma, are working there now, but they will both be gone within a fortnight. I went with them this morning and met the teachers and the kids and I LOVED it. I will be able to do my own teaching/lessons for about 45 minutes every day! I know that I will be able to help them out so much which is awesome! The kids are lovely, smart, and hilarious. This placement is about an hour and 20 minutes walk from our house, but on the way home we can catch a Daladala which cuts off about 40 minutes and is very cheap. If I can move my church work to the afternoon then I will definitely stay at Njoro. That should also be sorted out by tomorrow.

I am going to start studying swahili A LOT. I can't wait to be able to talk to everyone here. I love Tanzania.

Times up, more later!
