Swahili is tough
I had no idea my brain could function the way it has over the past 3 weeks. So much information for such a small mind as mine!!!
Dana is leveling out morning sickness wise. Not sure if it is because of the vitamin B complex or the surpassing the 1st trimester mark. Either way, she’s now hungry almost all the time! Jonathan likie.
We’ve settled into our banda with the Nicholls. It is so nice to be able to stand all the way up in our room! I received word today that we’ll be moving again… yet another step up. We’ll have a banda with a small kitchen to ourselves! We should move at the end of this month.
Not much news outside Swahili overflow. Oh, we’re in the process of buying a vehicle. Takes 4-6 months to finally get it (importing from Japan) so pray that it is fast for us and we have it by the end of language school in mid-December. We’re dipping a little further into our savings than expected to get a vehicle but it will be well worth it. I wish I had even just a moped right now! You don’t realize how much you depend on private vehicle ownership until you’re without it for a month.
Saturday morning gave me some free time to actually go bird watching. My species count is up to 28 at this point. There are tons of birds here. I heard 400+ species can be found at the campsite alone! Anyway, here’s one of my favorite so far. It is a Little Bee-eater. From the bottom picture, you can see how it got its name!
