Week 39: Visitors


 This week the women of First United Methodist Church of Roseburg, OR donated over 100 dresses and some shorts to the students of Moshana and we were able to distribute the clothing. A big thanks goes out to the “Little Dress Ladies” as well as the PCV Terri Lundy for her generosity and facilitation of this exchange.

I felt like I had a break through with the standard one students this week. I picked them up from their classroom and led them in a silent line to the library building. This set a much more behaved tone then the usual excited screaming rampage that is their favorite mode of transport to the library. This rampage inevitably leads to the desire to continue the same level of excitement and noise once in the library.

Over the weekend I had some surprise guests, leading to a delightful PCV filled weekend, where the conversation never failed to be flowing and interesting as well as the baked goods. I also had the privilege of meeting some other Americans who were traveling in Botswana, who allowed me to continue to expand my view of religion and what it means to different people. To close out my weekend I had an unwanted surprise visitor, but the silver lining was that I was able to see that my landlady and her family always have my back.
