Bonjour! Ca va? Right now there is an Italian couple here to adopt one of the babies, Joel, so that has been really cool to watch them meet their son, and see Joel get a family. Kelsey and I have been in charge of all cooking (thank you, mom, for feeding me the past sixteen years). We’ve had to get creative and find things to make decent meals without cheese, milk, or a microwave. Dinner is always fun with people speaking English, French, Italian, and Morai. After a while, you get used to not understanding anything anyone’s saying. Other than cooking, I spend a lot of time with the babies and tanties (the ladies who take care of them). They’re adorable and have no problem with you not speaking French, so it’s great. It’s the rainy season right now and we’ve had a couple storms so far. For a little while, right after it rained, the temperature probably got down to about 85 degrees, which feels amazing when you don’t have any air conditioning. Not what I would call freezing, but all of sudden the Burkinabes are pulling out their winter coats and bundling up for the frigid African summer night. Hahaha I’m just imagining them in St. Louis
