Leia! Leia is my sister

Ok so almost done here in Namaacha. Im excited to move on and start teaching and doing other projects. Not sure what the future holds or much about my site. But Will let you all know soon.

Maputo was cool. I got a drum, it is awesome. But this week I have been in an Portuguese training all week and have been playing music. But we have a Thanks Giving party tonight and hope to jam.

We stayed at a hostel and walked around a lot. There was a blues concert and went dancing. Cooked dinner both nights and had a Thai buffet. That was about it. Went to an art muesum.

Im trying to hurry up, sorry. There is a lot more going on. I guess some of you do not know where I am going. I am going to Gaza providence in the district of mabalane. So if you are bored research the area for me and send me a text email, jgomes99@yahoo.com.

Thanks to those you have been writing me. Big Jon and Oldman thanks for the songs. And Ashley and Jodi thanks for the updates. Mom going to not have all those answers for you, but I am a big boy! It will be ok! Haha

Well have a great Thanks Giving, remember to take some time to think and say what you are thankful for. Ok I can start.

I am thankful to be healthy and have the freedom to do the things I want in life. And have a great family to take care of me while I go to Africa for a couple years. Ok I got to go out of time! Thanks for all the comments and read my comments for now on because I can reply to them from my phone!

So I was on the local radio the other day. It was pretty cool. I talked about how I like the food. But the equipment was all old and rendom, which I thought was awesome.

I went to this spot where Sawaziland South Africa and Moazambique meet. That was cool. The I made home made peanut butter the other day with some friends. It was really rich and that was cool too. There are some other things that have been going on. but I forgot my paper with a bunch of notes. my bad next time.

Also sorry for spelling grammar errors. I am in a hurry and computer is in Portuguese. So my language is coming along. I am trying to apply myself more. Tomorrow I want to try and not use English for an entire day. My friend Mika did not talk at all yesterday and he has inspired me to not use English for a day. Gandhi inspired him. Ok I will load some pics this weekend in Maputo. I am buying a drum too.

Teaching today went really well. It is pretty easy to teach basic English to stuents who volunteer to come to school on their summer break. Peace and do goood things

Ready are you? What know you of ready?

Ashley,

No nicknames.

Jodi,

I have not been eating much packaged foods. Diet is close to the states. Lots of oil and meat though. I have not done anything extremely cool yet. Went to the waterfall. Ran for 72 minutes yesterday, then twisted my ankle today, it is swollen and hurts a little. Im good tho. Running here is nice. Lots of rolling hills and trails.

Tia,

They listen to a lot of American music and Mocambican music is similar to US dance, pop, and hip hop. The sunsets are really nice. Ill try to get some good pics. I tried to see a sunrise this week but really dusty and no good on that morning. sun rises at about 4:45 though.

Overall... Portuguese is getting better. I find out where I go in two weeks then get a weekend off. Going with some friends to the capitol. I start doing some model school teaching in two weeks. Next week get to learn about gardening and work out in the field.

So I cut my hair. And gave my hair to my host niece. She was really excited and is going to weave it into hers. Haha, so thats cool. I cut it when I first got here. I didnt really want to, but it is way cleaner. Ok im going to get going. Might have some pics on facebook if people tag me. We had a Halloween party last weekend it was fun. Well I think that is it. Peace and do good things
