First and foremost... i am still around!
Im really sorry that it has taken me so long to actually post a blog but the internet is kind of hard for me to get to. Plus, once im here it sometimes takes up to 30 minutes to load! lameo. hahaha.
I am doing really great here so far! The training as been wonderful and my host family really has been helping me a TON! We just took our language exams and apparently im at the intermediate mid level... which is the level that we need to go out into our villages! yippee! But i still feel like i dont know anything, and i get really flustered if people say things that i dont know. but i guess that all goes with learning... it will just take some time!
I did get a cell phone!!! the number is +255 783646507. I dont know if the cell phone situation was the same when you were in uganda, but basically here it costs me a rediclous amount to call people... but its free to get calls, so i guess it evens out.
we move to our sites in a little over a month. That makes me REALLY excited and REALLY freaked out at the same time. on one hand i would love to have my own house, cook the foods that i want, not have to speak a language all the time that i dont know... but then on the other hand WHAT THE HECK AM I GOING TO DO BY MYSELF! hahaha i like the host family being around so i ahve people to talk to :) i guess ill have to make friends in my village fast!
Ill try catch all of the blogs up later once i have a computer that has a usb port... hopefully that can happen soon!!!

Mere! I'm so happy you're alive and doing well. It sounds like you're learning so much. I've been meaning to send you an email for months now, but obviously that hasn't happened. Expect one soon! I can't wait to hear more about the wonderful things you're doing.
Sending love and Texas sunshine your way...
