It is hot

We are now in the hottest part of the year, 100F before 9 and 10am. We are having to do things to keep cool like hanging wet clothes in the windows, but when the wind dies so does any hope of coolness. We just don’t do much during the hottest part of the day.



We read and write and if we have to go out we try to jump from shade spot to shade spot. Ending under a tree...



Mangoes are comin! Every time the wind blows down comes mangoes. The mangoes are so sweet this year a Malawian who tasted one asked if we had dipped them in sugar. No, but the reason they are confused is because the mangoe rains that sweeten and ripen the mangoes has not come yet? Our tree does not care, its ready!



Bryan has been peeling them and slicing them for drying. I have been avoiding them until I can not resist anymore! They smell soooo good, and the taste, a fresh mango is irresistible! But then I break out in my poison ivy rash… and restrain myself. Why did it have to be Mangoes? I could take allergies to Papias, but mangoes?! You know I thought you had to not like something to become allergic to something, but I was proven wrong.



Our puppy is pregnant… so I decided we can’t call her puppy any more. Now I call her lil mama. We think she will have her pups the last week of October. We are very thankful that our big girl is not pregnant, I don’t think we could feed her the amount of food she would need… No worries for homes for the pups, because a new group of Peace Corps Volunteers swear in when they will be 6 months old so we thought about just bringing them to the city to give to those new volunteers.



We are in town to volunteer at a fundraising dinner for the Summer Camp next month. Today we cook serve and cleanup after about 50 people… We will stay Sunday so we can attend a church we found here in the city… So that’s whats up with us.
