Brief.

16 August 2005

This is going to be quick. I just received the bag o’ goodies from my girls back in Blacksburg! Thank you soo much. I really appreciate it and love all that you did.

Tomorrow I am officially sworn in as a Peace Corps volunteer. I do have a host family. I will actually be living near Chris, the other G5 at my site. So now he and I will be able to walk to work. He’s a great guy so no worries there. I have really lucked out. The new host family does not have three bathrooms, but I do have a sit down toilet, which is awesome! Seriously, it really is pretty great. My host mom works in the court and my host dad owns his own business. They have an 11 year-old daughter. None of them really speak English, but that is actually good for me. I’m really excited to meet them and get started at my new job.

I’ve got to run, the phone calls and the treats. but I will be in touch. Take care and thanks for the email, letters, treats, and phone calls!
