Cut Knees and Urine Feet

I know that it has been quite awhile since I have written but I will shoot a short one out right now.

I love my two new roommates. They are both British and very down to earth. Their names are Hayley and Khadija. We really get along and I am a little nervous about getting a fourth roommate next week because right now things are sooo great. I am sure it will be good there is just that nervous tension before you meet them.

There have been a lot of new volunteers coming and I have been getting along with them a lot more than I did with the previous ones. Not that I didn't enjoy the other ones but these volunteers treat me as a peer vs. the youngest volunteer of the bunch. I have been spending some time with this volunteer named Charlotte and last night when we met up she walked up to me and started screaming. This whole time we have been hanging out she thought I was about 23 and she had just found out that I am 17. It was a pretty funny reaction and everyone was laughing pretty hard. It is a different dynamic with these new volunteers. A good dynamic though.

The orphanage is good. I have still been spending my days there. Yesterday I didn't have the best day. A little baby was standing over my feet in the morning and she let loose and urinated all over my feet (so attractive...the smell of urine). Then in the afternoon I was feeling pretty sick cause I hadn't been drinking enough water and so I went to go by a sachet from the little boys house. As I was walking back I fell down the stairs and face planted into the ground. I cut up me knees pretty badly. I walked back to where we were playing Monopoly and I had mud and blood all over my knees and I was too exhausted to bother cleaning them but one of the boys ran off and came back with some paper towels and cleaned my cuts for me (so sweet). This morning when I went in Moses was walking to school and he ran up to me to see how my knees were doing.

Other than that nothing is really new. Life is good. God is good. 1 Week until my parents and Lizz come. I can't wait!! I think I might be catching a cold from one of the toddlers.......I hope not!!! That's all for now.
