We've been learning some language stuff. I know how to say stuff like, "Hi, how are you?" and "How is your health" or "how is your family" or "it's good to know you" "until another day..." "God Bless you" or my personal favorite "this is all the Makua-Metto I know." I just know a couple other things. I know some of the people know Portuguese but I don't want to learn that at all because even the people that know Portuguese know Makua, but not everyone who knows Makua knows Portuguese. Also, the Portuguese colonialists took over Mozambique and ruled over all the Mozambicans, and took a lot of their culture away including language. So I don't want to be any more white than I already am.
