Ok, so I have a few more minutes to write. I just wanted to let you know that I made it alive and that I will have very very limited internet time from what I can tell.
Everything is pretty good so far, but definitely overwhelming. There are a lot of things that you would expect (kids running after your car and colorful clothing etc.) and also other things that are surprising (the termites and the thunder storms etc). I am still trying to adjust after the long traveling, but nothing too dramatic has happened. The thing that makes me most sad at this point is that there are 12 girls and only 4 guys! My chances of coming back married are looking slim.
Overall though everybody is pretty nice and there havent been any real issues. They are treating us great to gradually get us used to the change I suppose. We will be in the training compound for another week I think and then they will move us to villages in groups of three or four to start more intense language training. After a week or so of that we come back and its more of the same. Overall though, I find out where I will be for good on July 20th and will move there in early August.
Love,
Samantha
