This is my life..

It all feels like a dream, I constantly step back, smile and say "this is my life". From bucket baths, power goes in and out, drinking tea with my family and cooking with my family.  I walk dirt roads to get to my language class, tech classes and home (def my workout) , constantly being greeted "bom dia, boa tarde, boa noite". I love every second of it. Everyone just seems so happy here, and they sing and dance constantly. The best part is when you see them singing they sing their heart out and it just make you happy. It does get tough out here but  I said it before what job doesn't have it's ups and downs.
 I finally know 3 path ways to get to my homestay family house which is awesome for ending week three. I wish I had a computer with Internet to post pictures but I at least have my phone. 

Today I spent the whole day with my sister in law and nephews. These two boys are the cutest things ever. I taught them my name so they always say bye and hi Telma or call my auntie. They get so excited when I arrive home.
 Anyways today we had a crazy thunderstorm that was so loud and energy went out (of course Africa) and my 2 year old nephew was petrified of lightening. I decided to get my head lamp out and I fit it to his head so everywhere he walked there was light. It was the cutest thing ever and he smiled the whole time. Once it reached his bed time he came and layed in my arms and feel asleep quickly. It was too cute. 
This past week a lot has happened, I got to learn a mozambiquen dish and show them American dishes. We made chili which came out amazing. I made my first lesson plan in Portuguese which was tough yet easy. Language is improving though so I'm happy about that. And I learned the traditional dance here which was so much fun I wish I could sing the words. A lot of the songs they sing is to send out messages about your health and it's an amazing way to do it. 
Well that's all I have for now hopefully I can make this blog a little but more interesting later.
