Today was another pretty uneventful day in Bangata.  We are learning a lot of Kiswahili, but it is difficult to actually use it.  It is so easy to just continue using English with my family.  I am trying to use Kiswahili words and phrases whenever I can.  This evening as we were preparing dinner, Mama called Bahati and me outside where two young women were waiting.  Without any explanation, one of the women started measuring me.  Apparently, Bahati and I are getting new dresses!  I am very curious to see how it turns out- hopefully they will choose pretty fabric!
