Out of Control

So have you ever had that feeling like the fact that you are completely uncomfortable is a complete waste? I have. I mean I know that it's not, but that's how I feel. Still not quiet sure what I'm doing on a day to day basis. I'm currently not helping with house visits like I first thought, although that could still change. I'm really hoping I'll be able to do it if it's God's will... I think it'd be much more fun than teaching (but then again I have no idea).
The little girls here are my saving grace. They are so affectionate and just hugging them sometimes gives me something to do when I'm unsure of my place or what to do. A few of them have really taken to me and it's just been great.
I really love the food here. There's only been a few things I haven't liked. I'm totally going to get fat! I'm not going to have my own kitchen like I first thought so it's a lot of soup, rice and potatoes for me! They really love to drink hot thick drinks here. They have one called "quacker" which is basically Quaker oatmeal ground up! Most of them are good, just have to be prepared for texture. The other day I was hot from being out in the sun for a few hours and saw that they were serving kool-aid or punch of some sort. When I went to drink it I got a surprise, it was more like jello instead of fruit punch!
I took a taxi all by myself today. I have to say I'm a bit proud. All I did is some shopping at the mall and then back home again. It's funny to have the sales people talk to me, I have no idea what they are saying. Sometimes I pretend to understand.
