I Might Be A Girl, But I Can Still Do My Work

Have you ever had one of those moments that makes you thankful about how you were raised? The past two days were full of those moments for me. My parents provided for me and love me so much and they taught me to walk with faith in Jesus Christ. They also taught me that everyone needs to be able to pull their weight in a family. My siblings and I were, and still are, taught to do things to the best of our abilities for the glory of God. 

Even if I'm a girl. 

Don't get me wrong, I love working out here. The people are great and a lot of fun to work with. However, there are still men who don't like it when women work hard. The past two days I worked with a man who is like that. He is very nice but he doesn't like it when women lift things or do manual labor. It was a new experience for me. Back home I know what I can do and sometimes I have to ask for help. That's just the way it is. Here, for the most part, it has been the same way, but there are times when I'll be carrying a 50lb bag of grain and one of the guys will stop what he's doing to come and take it from me. Sometimes its nice but  its hard when I want to be doing it myself. I'm not sure if it's the culture that these guys come from or what, but it has been an eye-opening experience. It has taught me patience and made me thankful to be raised as I was.

On a different note, here's a picture of the interns that went to the bullfight on Monday night. And if you want to know what a suicide squad is, here's a link for a fight that was at the same place I went to:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xheTKg-ujzY
