July 21
Saturday! And you know what that means…it’s Malaria day (as
Jen and I would say)! That’s just our way of reminding ourselves to take our
Malaria pills. However, Saturdays are actually my time period markers. I’ve
officially been here for a whole month. The Alabama team just left this
morning. Gracie took them to the airport and the rest of us just kind of did
our own thing.
After having lunch, I finished up a few blog posts and
packed up for the weekend. Jen and I are staying at Evelin’s house in Teguc for
the night and heading back to La Ermita Sunday evening. We had dinner at her
aunt’s house. Her aunt made an amazing soup with three different kinds of
bananas and three different kinds of meat. It was really good. We had a pretty
good time visiting with her family, but once we got to her house, it wasn’t
long till we were all ready for bed.
Being with her family at her aunt’s house reminded me of being with my mom’s family in Manila. I felt right at home. It’s weird at times because I feel like I’m at home, but at the same time I’m not…does that make sense? Haha! Well, whether it does or doesn’t, I’m just still really blessed and thankful to be here and that I’m not having to struggle too much with culture shock.
