THECOUNTDOWNBEGINS!!


Life is really speeding up now...ONE WEEK and I will be dropped off in my village... alone ... with all my stuff...and expected to communicate with others. The village I am going to be spending the next two years speaks mostly moore which is one of the local languages here spoken by the Moosi people. The village has two schools and is about 4500 people.
I am excited-to have freedom and time to myself-scared- to enter a new town knowing only one person in the village and a little sad too- leaving friends and my host family.
It is actually hard to believe that we will be leaving our village and it makes me wonder about what i missed out on (host family relationships) be leaving our 1st host family in Oula.
Our second host family has been great though now that I am starting feel comfortable and building friendships we leave...

Well such is life and now I am going to start to make new friendships and build a life in my village.

Lastly, as I mentioned in an earlier paragraph, I have met someone from my village. She is the woman that owns the house I will be living in and she seems AWESOME!!!
