Today
I had my second Indonesian lesson. I learned some more ways to introduce myself
and how to answer some questions that people might have for me. All of it was
great information and I feel like I will look back at the end of the year and
laugh at myself for struggling with these basic conversations. Right now I
struggle to understand but, I think I am getting better every day. After my
lesson I had a snack with my teacher and her family. They were all really nice
to me especially my teacher's mother who kept telling me to eat more food and
laughing at my attempts to use my hands to eat. I am meeting so many nice people
here and I am learning so much about their unique culture.
You've mentioned a few times about eating with your hands. Are most meals eaten that way? Or just certain meals? And who is your teacher? Is it someone from Rotary, or...? If the teachers mom keeps telling you to eat, have you lost so much weight that they are worried about you, or it is more social and you "should" eat more? I am so proud of you and your ability to accept and appreciate the experiences you are having. You are amazing...but we already knew that. Love you lots....XXOOxxooXoOX from our ocean to yours. Mom
