One of the goals of us girls was to do a lot of visiting.  The first few days we were there we couldn’t escape that goal, ladies were stopping by at all hours, some staying for 10 minutes, others for several hours.  But, after a few days, the visits waned, so we were able to get out and visit women in their own homes.

It was good culturally to see them in their own place and we learned how to go visiting in their culture and what phrases to say when we arrive and when it’s time to leave!
