Yesterday we went on a walk to visit some people of the neigborhood. We stopped to talk to one lady who was once thought to have H1N1, but doesn't, thankfully. While we were talking to her, we could hear her daughter yelling from a bush. The mother then told us that her daughter was bathing and needed her shorts. I can't imagine never having a shower...and having to bathe outside everyday. That's something I have never thought about, we are so blessed and there are so many things that we take for granted every single day.
I think about all the time how someone would react if we took them from this tiny town in South America and dropped them off in the US. Wow, it would be so mind boggling. Things are so different and this lifestyle is so simple, and I'm so excited to get to be a part of it and experience all that's going on.
On the other side of things, today was my turn to make the snack and I forgot...oops! So, belated as it was, I started making the pudding, only to realize that it was in neither English or Spanish... I had to ask Christie was leite was, which was on the recipe. Turns out it was milk...in PORTUGESE!!! Lucky for me, Christie is the language master and somehow seems to be able to understand everything...so anyway, this pudding (Pudim in Portugese) was so weird, I had to boil it, which was the step that made it thick, instead of refrigeration...that's just weird to me, but after I boiled it, I had to refrigerate it, and voila, there are now pudding cups in the fridge! Yay! Sweet Success!
