Look How Cute!
No one could resist picking up the little piglets as they ran by us while we ate and cooked. Even Aureli, our youngest interna, could not help but smile while holding one with Carmen. Aureli is often teased for being the "runt" of the litter, making it even more perfect that she decided to grab one of the smallest piglets on there. Hence the smiles and laughter! :)
Look How Big & Strong!
After seeing how one of the women carried the baby pigs away from the mother's food, I thought I should give it a try. If the little pigs aren't taken away, they eat all the mother's food and then we have one angry hog without milk for the babies. But, once I picked two of them out, the other dozen or so piglets went hiding! :o
Look How Tasty!
Once we were friends with the pigs, we decided they looked awfully tasty... so we had pork for lunch! :) Above Sor Gladis and the internas are preparing our dinner, spicy chicken. While the rest of us went out on the basketball court at the local school and played volleyball. Though we didn't keep score, and we had intermissions of random dancing, I think my team won!
Look At Our Yummy Dessert!
After lunch and dinner, our dessert consisted of washing dishes and eating yummy lollypops, curtsey of Carmen! :) The home we visited belongs to one of the internas, a traditional Bolivian home in the countryside - hence the lack of indoor pluming, the family shares this water spiket their neighbors. But, it wasn't really an inconvenience at all once you had soap and buckets and plenty of little hands to help! :)
Life is Good & Every day in Oki is a Gift!
Please keep us in your prayers, you're always in ours! :)
