I love presents.
Anywho.
The past couple of days have been sooo interesting. Sleeping in the heat is getting easier, I still want to shoot all of the obnoxious stry dogs, but they tell me that I shall soon be able to tune them out.
We started working on the hall where Pastor Jare's congregation will now meet. Man, it's so dirty - we basically scrubbed for 2 days straight - we scrubbed chairs, walls, floors, toilets, sinks, stairs, everything. And I think all the grime made it's way on me. Which means I GET MORE BUCKET SHOWERS. yay! I'm getting used to them - the water is cold - which can be a blessing or a curse. It's so relieving after our long treks around Lautoka, but quite shocking early in the morning. Sometimes, the landlord turns off the water in the Pastor's house, so we run out of water. Which means we're thirsty and dirty. But the water eventually turns back on, so it's okay.
I'm pretty sure my feet are indefinitely dirty. They will never be nice again. They are so gross, always filthy, covered in dirt and the skin is getting so dry and calloused from all our walking and the glittery pink nail polish on my toenails is almost unrecongnizable, all chipped and brown.
On the bright side, there aren't any mirrors anywhere, so I never know how gross I look. yay. It's kind of crazy, how I have to depend on my team to tell me how disgusting I look.
I've basically stopped really caring how I look, but i know that this humidity is making everyone's skin better, so I'm praying mine does the same! Wanna get rid of acne? Do a mission trip in Fiji! Woohoo.
Haha, reminds me of something that happened the other day - Van walked in the living room and dejectedly said "I don't know which to charge - my iPod or my camera." There's only one outlet available in the house. #firstworldproblemsinasecondworldcountry
It was funny.
