We had our first Tok Pisin lesson with our real teacher today. His name is Matyu and he lives in village close by. He has 6 kids and some grandkids too (don’t remember how many). Today we learned our letters and some vocab and how to answer simple questions. Then we had tea and I was able to ask him if he wanted tea, how much sugar and milk! YAY!

We also had another hike, this one in the afternoon (UGH!) It was hot, but mostly we were under shade in the trees, so it wasn’t unbearable. We went to Ugal’s fishpond which was about an hour away. Ugal is one of the nationals that work here at the camp as a mechanic/handyman. This hike was much better because it wasn’t as steep. Most of the way back was uphill, but it wasn’t really hard (maybe I’m just getting more used to it YAY!)
