So paraguay is getting better :) Ive lived here for almost two weeks now and i am more comfortable and used to everything. I feel more comfortable speaking spanish and i am learning more :) I am more comfortable with the idea that i dont speak well and it will take much time for me to understand everything. More people in the town know who i am and a lot of times someone says hi kayla to me and i have never meet them before. But i am glad that they know who i am. I walk to the school i work at every day and to gustavos house and people always ask me if i want i ride which is annoying but i always say no. I will never get on a motorcycle because it is too dangerous expecially in paraguay. In paraguay there are no stop signs or stop lights and no one obeys the trafic laws. And the policia doesnt doing anything about it. I realy dont know what the police do here. Thats what my sister told me, that there are a lot of accidents in the motorcycles. Also a lot of my neighbors dont have enough money to eat so my host mom makes them lunch at the comedor and all the kids come in the afternoon. The food is donated by the goverment i think but recently it sstoped. My host sister explained it to me but i couldnt understand. Someone told me the president didnt want to give more money to the poor but then she was explainning to me something about a bad family that did something, im not sure. Also gustavo has an organization called nueva suerte to help the hospital here and also to help young pregnant women in here. There are a lot of young prenant women and his his wife teached about controception in the schools but it is still a problem. This saturday there will be a movie to raise money for the organization and we are talking about having contests in raise money. I really enjoy and get along with my family :) My host mother always asks me how my day was, if i ate anything, and she enjoys explainning things to me. I also ask her many questions. She is very animated and i can understand her pretty well! She told me that if i get home late i wont be able to go out again for a while. She is very protective. She also said that is there is a boy that me or one of my sisters like we wont be able to leave the house :p but she was just joking around. We joke around a lot. They always say that in the summer we wear more clothes and in the winter we wear less, to confuse me :p And there is a worker that comes to our house to fix the wall of one of the rooms in the house after its fixed me and dianna and maybe adrianna will move into that room. They joke around that only i will sleep in that room because i said that i dont want to be alone. My little host brothers are also getting more comfortable with me. The younger one is very talkive and is always laughting and playing around. The other day i read them the little mermaid in spanish. The little brother likes to copy what i am doing and
