DDR

Hello all! It's been awhile since I've been on a computer. I've almost forgotten how to use one. Luckily, right now, I'm not on a French computer, but I do apologize for all the e-mails I sent out yesterday. To decode those e-mails know that q=a, z=w, '=m, 1=! so yea, good luck with that! Anyway, things have been going well at site. Teaching is going well and is coming to an end, though I don't know the exact date. However, I am getting sad that this year is ending, because my students are all so great and I'm going to miss them this summer. A lot of them take off during the vacay and go to Conakry or Labe. It amazes me how attached I've become to my students and the thought of them leaving, especially the tenth graders, brings tears to my eyes. I never thought with such a language and culture barrier that I would form such relationships.
The jerseys arrived in Mombeya on Sunday and the two girls soccer teams have been practicing every night. It's so fun to watch and at times, very funny. I have another teacher who is helping me coach them. He's pretty outrageous himself.
The other weekend, I attended a concert in Mombeya with two of my PC friends, Rachel and Conor. It was hilarous. We were basically laughing the whole time and dancing like crazy. I saw many of my students copying the outrageous moves we threw out. The band on stage, in Pular, even said that theses white people can dance. Like they ever should have doubted us in the first place, right?!
I still am working with the doctor and I'm still seeing some pretty interesting things. And the other week,I again found myself light-headed which led to me being violently ill. Don't worry, I was fine! During the break, I will be working more so with the doctor and I also hope to do some traveling.
Thanks again to all who have sent me letters, packages, and emails! I greatly appreciate them. Love and miss you guys and will be home in 7 months for X-mas!
