One of the villages in Kovol, and in particular, one family, is extremely eager for us to be here. Even after four and a half years of us being here, they are very willing to teach us and often make the 1.5-hour hike to come see us. When we first got here, Mongongam had told me she would teach me all about how the ladies hunt. We would go hunting rats, frogs, and all kinds. I had always said, "I will at some point."
Now that Alice and Millie are bigger, it's doable for Steve if I go away for a night. Also, summer break from school means I have more time for language and culture learning. So I planned with Mongongam to finally make this long-awaited trip to their place so they could teach me all about how ladies hunt.

Thanks for the update on giving birth! That would be really hard to know so little about the process, and be so helpless against complications and infections. That is a good insight into what their lives are like!
