Well it's been extremly hot everyday. But about 50-65 at night the extremes of the weather are not so fun. When I go to sleep I am sweating so I don't want to cover up but then about 1am I am waking up reaching up for blankets. We are doing VBS with a group from Murphesboro, TN right now. That's been fun. The frybread is good but different than what I'm used to eating. The people are amazing when I first meet them they are kind of stand-offish but then I bring up their culture and tell them how much I look forward to learning about it because I am half native. Then they open up to me so it is definitly a benefit being choctaw. I definitly think that Dine (what the Navajo call themselves) kids are the cutest kids I've ever met.
The other day in VBS in the class I was helping with the kids started to educate us about Skinwalkers. The skinwalkers are witches that walk around in animal skin at night and kill people. It's kind of like a werewolf but they can be a lot of different kind of animals. The witches though surround themselves with things of death. They even use a thing called corpse dust. What it is, is crushed up human bone then they blow it down the pipes of hogans of people they don't like. Supposedly before you know it you're sick as a dog and no one can fix it. Well there's a little bit of native myth for you.
Pictures will be up later. GOD BLESS!!!
