Whenm I woke up today I was wondering what to expect. It couldn't be as excting as yesterday was. I walked outside of my room and noticed Susan hugging a boy that was a little older than I was. I went over to her and she introduced me. It was her son that had been living with his friends in another village for about a month. It was amazinf to see the joy in both of their eyes. I could tell that they reallyt missed eachother. His name was
Abit. He was sixteen. Abit and I spent a few hours teaching eachother games that we have never heard about. I tought him how to play Consintration and he taught me a game that is very common in South Sudan. I can't remeber the the name of it but here is what you do. You draw a design in the sand with your feet. The you get bottle caps and throw them at the design and if it lands on the design you get 10 point. If it lands somewhere inside the design you get 5 points. Who ever ends up with 30 point first wins.
it was tricky and first but I got the hang of it really fast. After we did that I went into town with sSusan and helped her with her coffee and tea stand. At first it was boring but then it got really fun with all of the
costumers she had. The smell of the coffee and tea was very different than I am used to at home. It smells more fresh and strong. I think I had about 4 cups of tea. It was the best tea I have ever tasted.
