Thursday 11 February I wake at 4 instead of two and feel pretty good. I start to nap again by the time it's time to get up. I make a smoothie for breakfast. It was raining super heavy in the night. The roads are slippery. Hannah goes up to the school to see how they are making porridge and it's so terrible. The cook is our cleaning girl so we figure out a good recipe and show her when she comes later. I continue answering questions from the school. After lunch ...

Wednesday 10 February It's an awful night. I have a headache by morning. I get up and eat breakfast. I put some beans on to soak and head back to bed. I need rest and a nap.

Sunday 7 February I'm pleased the power is still on so I can wash all my clothes!Malcolm makes French toast for breakfast and it's very nice. I watch a TV show while I colour and cut out things for my class tomorrow. It takes awhile. After lunch Chris and Lita stop by after church offering us to join them in town for lunch. We decline because I have to finish for the class and Malcolm already made plans to walk up the mountain with a few local men. There are ve...
