Ok so I'm calling the month of October! I'd like to squeeze it in the last week of September and into what was my October and call it a day with October right now. In September one of my best friends here went home :( She did what was right for her and I completely respect that, but I miss her. This is not an easy position to do, especially when you reach transition when you don't know exactly what you're supposed to do. So here is my account of the bad in the month of October... I got the flu :( luckily I was blessed with a week of rain and a ton of honey to pass the time. Then Archer got into a fight with other dogs and come home all injured. He refused to lay down for 3 days, resting his head on my bed and looking up at me with his big puppy dog eyes. My water project has been scrapped because a mysterious company is buying up all the land in the Playita so they can develop it (I'm not sure if this is good or bad, only time will tell). Worst of all I feel like a hermit...
On the upside of October... I started a girls group, painted a world map with my BV kiddos, my first kid finished his reading card, which means he has read over 25 of my books now, and his mom tells me he's a much better reader than last year. It's rained lots :) this however has brought many nasty bugs.
So I'm going to let go of this month that has frustrated me so much and next week I'm going to do a Med Mission and translate for American doctors in Dajabon. A place I have yet to see. Next month will be harder as I will be teaching a lionfish cooking class, and if you know me well you know that fish is not something I tend to cook in general. I'm going to run more and be more social with my community.
