So there was an area meeting today and all the men meet with all the chiefs. After the meeting ALL, and I do mean ALL, of the young men from Gallaley (a village on the other side of the bush) came to shake hands and story. They have a new Peace Corps volunteer as well, so we swapped stories. It will be interesting to hear what they go back and share. But after about 5 minutes of talking I was looking at a line of 13+ men who I had very little to say to. Thank goodness my papa was coming back from the garden so I could make dinner, or else we might have sat and looked at each other for an endless amount of time. But as awkward as it was, it was also kinda cool to stop and meet a whole group of guys from a village that's a three hour walk away! It'll make it easier when I go do co-teaching over there and vise versa. I'm sure this is the first of many awkward moments ahead in my life.
Until next time
