Well i've pretty much reached my breaking point for the rats in my house. I was awakened at 4am this morning by a large chunk of plaster falling off the wall where it meets the roof. The plaster fell and hit the ground right at the head of my bed because a rat was pushing his way through the wall to get in. I thought he had found a way out after that because I didn't find him. Then I heard a crash in my front room and got up to see a rat had knocked over my water bottle. I then spent 3 hours trying to get him out of my freaking house. Well at first I was trying to kill it by spraying it in the face with the bug spray in my left hand and then hitting it over the head with the can of bug spray in my right hand but that didn't work and I got tired so I just wanted him out. Hopefully patching the holes and putting out more poison will help.

Communication with the locals is still hard. I ca get to a point with generalities but then I hit a wall and run out of things to say. yesterday we went to Soma, a larger city with a market, some electricity and lots of people. There were 2 good things about my trip
1. I got to see my friends that are at other villages, Marie and Liza are the best!
2. I got a delicious ice cold pineapple fant...felt amazing

Yesterday we also gave mini-lessons to a group of teenage boys. I taught them about HIV/AIDS. It was actually pretty cool, they all listened really well and had a lot of questions. They actually showed up at my door later to ask more questions. I have a lot to learn about teaching though, hopefully the rest of training will help with that...
