So I lost my number so I have a new one. It's 011224 63823518. Sorry I keep switching my number! Anyway, I'm in Labe for the weekend. We are celebrating Halloween. My friend Rachel and I bought soccer jerseys and socks, along with jellies, because that's what Guineans wear to play soccer. Should be a good time. Mombeya is going well. My tutor was very helpful and classes finally started October 20th after only one strike. So I've been teaching for two weeks and it's going great. I write down everything I say to insure "success"; however, my students have the hardest time understanding things even when it's right there presented to them on the board. I teach four classes and in my 7eme class, I have about 75 students. 75 students who just stare at me and hardly respond, it's a good time. I am enjoying it. The other day they were making fun of my french when I turned my back to write on the board so I turned around and started talking in English. Their mouths dropped and they were shocked. I just stood up there and talked for about 5 minutes until we all started laughing. We then had a quick English lesson on what I was drinking, lemonade, and how to make it. My house is still coming along slowly. I ordered shelves and drawers so I can finally unpack; still living out of my suitcases. I return to Mombeya Sunday, don't know how quite yet, so that should be interesting. Anyway, I'm home in less than two months...can't wait! Love and miss you guys all!!
