Wednesday night was a whirlwind.. was woken up by a crazy storm which ended up flooding a couple of our rooms. We just took everything out and tried to salvage as much as we could. All of my books inflated by as least an inch but are still readable. Last night after a stressful day of trying to dry everything out we, my roomie Alaina and neighbor Amanda, thought we'd treat ourselves to a face mask. Of course as girls do, we were like, "Lets get a picture!!" but when I went to find my camera it was an unfortunate discovery... it was soaking wet. So then Alaina went to find hers and discovered the same thing. Pretty bummed but hopefully it will make it! Cross your fingers for me :)
Other than that we've had full days of training and nights filled roaming the streets of Ouaga.. this has been quite the week. Feels like we've been here much longer than just five days and cannot believe we already leave tomorrow. Training has just touched a little on many different areas from medical issues to the cultural changes were about to face in our host families. Tomorrow night is the adoption ceremony and I'm really excited! Worried about my french/moore and the latrines but I think I'm ready to really dive in! We were told we don't have internet in our next location, therefore this is probably the last post for awhile. Happy Father's Day and I will write next time I can!
'The purpose of this life is to live a life with purpose
So don’t get trapped inside your safety net
So fill you well and light your flame
But go on seeking service
Life with out a cause is life with out effect'
