Today Stacy and I were busy all day: doing laundry, preparing meals, washing dishes, baking, watching the kids... some days are just more hectic than others for some reason, but it was at least a good day. We made Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies with peanut butter and walnuts. Mmm! I'm definitely going to make these frequently at school.
At the end of our time baking, two Malagasy girls came over to visit with Stacy. Their names are Fara and Dos. They were really sweet girls who seemed eager to learn English. So Stacy taught them some words in English and Fara eagerly wrote them down in her notebook. Her mother teaches English at he local Lutheran private school but Fara is still trying to learn. I'm sure she knows more English than I know Malagasy... perhaps if I came back long term we could teach each other our languages.
In the past couple of days, two random boys have approached Stacy and attempted speaking to her in English. It's a bit comical, but at least they're trying. I'm sure I'd sound the same to them speaking their language.
