hi! its been a long time...i had a cat last time i updated this. well thats done! my life got instantly better once she found a new home with a village boy!
everything is going pretty well. i feel pretty settled now that i have been at post for about 8 months. my villagers no longer think i am complete idiot, just a slight one! I still work at the health hut pretty much everyday. i got to see my first live birth. it was totally amazing. all of sudden there is this person, it was crazy!
so far i've had a couple hedge hogs and a snake in my hut. i got made fun of a lot for trying to kill the snake on my own, which looking back i looked absolutely ridiculous! i had the stick to my pounder in one hand and a knife in the other running towards my chief's concession. it was pretty funny.
so right now i am just starting to work on some projects: working with mal-nourished children, building a grain bank, getting a new well in my village, fixing up my health hut and hopefully starting a garden in October.
right now, i will be around to answer questions (meaning i have Internet service) so let me know if you have a question or say "holler" if you want.
ok bye

Thanks for the update. Two hedge hogs? I heard about the snake killing - shudder- but I need to hear about the hedge hog intrusion. Still missing you but am delighted to talk with you every so often. You continue to amaze me. Lots of Love, momma
Thank you for the update, and keep em coming! I love hearing about the craziness that is Liza, even if you are half way across the world. And I commend you for even trying to handle the snake by yourself, despite how ridiculous you appeared. Love you, and take care!
My dear Elizabeth,
I miss you and love you and wish I could have you hear to talk to and hug. Your stories are always hilarious and you continue to inspire/amaze. XOXOXO Love you and come home soon. 8 months is enough!!!! Love you.
