We began our day with the typical chores, breakfast and language. It turns out that we are supposed to be learning chores and cooking early in the morning when I am trying to squeeze some yoga into my very busy day. Tomorrow we are going to try to do another round of yoga after our extremely busy day. I am just going to have to do yoga in the evening, but even then I don't see how I can do it because it is just too busy around here. I think that I will still try to make some time in the morning as I am sure that "chores" will end quite soon.
Our day was very interesting today (especially compared with yesterday when we reviewed the Lesotho Educational System and for the umpteenth time in my life, reviewed educational philosophy). A very knowledgeable and well-spoken gentleman came and discussed Safety and Security with us. I will say that I think that this may have precipitated the whole scare of the bar across the street mixed with the smoke in my hut. We certainly learned a wealth of information about what to do to mitigate the possibilities of getting into danger. The afternoon was spent with an initial session on HIV/AIDS. It was a bit boring as it was statistics about the state of the virus in Lesotho. We did learn a few interesting things that we had not previously been made aware of, in particular how the initiation situation in Lesotho may be augmenting the situation here.
Much more will follow, but at least today's sessions were not too laborious.
I arrived home to Mameretta getting her hair cut by a friend. And I got to hold this adorable little girl in my arms. We laughed, learned how to make papa and I showed them my pictures. Me Malomile kept telling me how much she loves me and they let everyone know that I am a family member - how could I dare leave this situation.

I don't want to move
The upper echelon of the Peace Corps is considering moving me to a different host family. Unfortunately, I think it is my own fault. I complained about the smoke in my house and instead of trying to figure out a solution with the family MORIE, I told Me Lerato and we didn't come up with a solution. And then the bar across the street was playing obnoxiously loud music and I was tired and everyone who knows me well knows how much I despise loud rambunctious music and now they want me to move. I simply cannot do it; it would truly make Me Malomile so sad and the whole Morie family so I am going to make sure to let them know that I am going to deal with it all for the remaining weeks. I simply cannot let her down; she is just too special to me.
