Time in Site and Time in Town.

Not much to say. I'm sorry for that but, I have been pretty focused on getting my home fixed before the rainy season starts. The rainy season is coming. It will start in about 2 weeks or so. I am really excited. It seems that extreme downpours are on there way. Night thunder and lighting storms and lots of work in the fields. If you were here now you would be witness to everyone working on last minute construction projects and any other issues. My host father Mustapha and I are in the process of constructing a house for some chickens. He and I discussed it and with some help we agreed that the house should hold about 150 chickens. This is really good for him and myself. It's good for him because he will consistently have chicken in his family's food bowl and I mine of course. Also he will make some quick money consistently throughout the year. It's good for me because I now have a way to gauge my work there. I had a uncle in my village ask me the other day "Why are you here?" I didn't really have an answer. To him I was showing zero benefit to his village. I can understand him in a way. I have created nothing visual or viable in the village. I have created many grants and other things he knows nothing about, but the results from those come in time. I cannot remember if I stated this before, but my host family has moved in next to me. This is really cool and enjoyable for me. I am able to see my family much more often and my language has increased expediently. The way it used to be, I lived on one end of the village and my family lived on the other. We saw each other very little; for eating meals and at night. I am also getting a new roof on my hut, which is in bad need of repair. I may also be getting a light in my backyard! It will be hooked up to Mustapha's generator. A light! I am stoked about that. I also started working with another man Modoo in a near by village. He is the brother of one of my teachers and is a nice guy. Our project together will a massive tree planting project for his village, Kerr Saminyado. He is a very hard worker and he is very motivated like Mustapha. I look forward to working with him. Other than that all is good and I am healthy and happy. I want to state something off subject here. I have noticed more and more that people change so fast. Life moves so fast. My friends back home seem to have moved on with their lives. I expected this and am aware of this, but you realize that when you are not there in person it is easy to be forgotten about. You are easily thought of rarely, if ever. My family is different, my family cares about what I am doing and about what is happening to me. They try to stay connected and try to stay involved. I am forever appreciative of this. I think about these things sometimes. I understand that my friends have lives and I don't them want to stop everything their doing to worry about me or talk to me. I just cannot imagine in 2 years what we will have to say to each other? Sorry for sappy statement I just felt I needed to state this. Maybe some will understand and maybe some won't. I am overall just so happy to everyone so happy. It makes me smile to see photos of everyone living life. I always look forward to hearing from them and hearing about their adventures. But, I digress...Oh, one more thing. A guy here and myself have decided to start writing personal letters to independent record companies to receive free things. It has worked really well for him so far so I told him I want to try. It beats sleeping! I will update you on that later. Beynnan Yoon!
