We leave in 15 minutes for the long stretch of our pre-service training. This will be a stint of 3 weeks at our homestay, receiving more language training and finally some SED technical stuff.
So, forgive me for not being around to send messages for a bit. My homestay site DOES have great cell phone service and that means that you should call me/message me, preferably in the late evening my time (7:30 pm or after Malian time-- 4 hours ahead of EST). The only reason you wouldn't get me is if I haven't been able to charge my phone.
During this time I plan to start making the connections and building the relationships that I will need for the next 2 years. Since my homestay is only 8 km from my actual site, a lot of the resources I will need will be based at my homestay on the main road. Bringing the surrounding communities together will both help me to integrate and help the local economy to grow.
Miss you all! Thanks for the messages, comments, and birthday wishes.

Bonne Anniversaire, alors! Je ne savais pas. Tu es si jeune, ma petite soeur. A travers toi, je revis les experiences du debut de mon sejour au Burkina. Le paysage est tres beau autour de toi, donc continue a y puiser ta paix. Tu trouveras une paix encore plus grande plutard chez ceux qui t'accueillent et dans leur style de vie. Bon courage toujours. Je pense a toi. Phil
