Sorry for the delay...

Well hello, everybody! (I said that in my Conan voice, just so ya know – I miss him… and his hair. Haha how is he?) Ok, well I realized last time when I wrote a quick note about my address change that I did not keep my word and update once more before I left for site, so I apologize and will do so now.

I don’t even know where to start… I’m not going to say where exactly I’ve been assigned because this is a public blog, but I will say I’m in the desert. Haha I guess that’s not very descriptive considering like two-thirds of Botswana is desert, but yeah, you’ll just have to email me if you want to know more. ;) I’m digging it for the most part so far, though. I’m still in awe of how big the sky is here. That probably sounds weird, but its sooo flat here that it just goes all the way from one horizon to the other. Its nuts! I get really excited about the sky though, so maybe that’s just me. ;) The people in my village are really nice, and it’s been fun trying out my Setswana skills with the kids. Although, in my village they speak about 7 or 8 different languages so Setswana only gets me so far, but hey, gets me further than English so I guess I’m sticking to it. Hopefully I’ll start to pick up a few phrases in some of the other languages but those are a bit more challenging so we’ll see. What else… I’ve got a house and it’s quite nice. I’m pretty spoiled actually. I’ve got electricity, a water heater, a fridge and stove. So I’m set for amenities! My computer died the day I got to site which was sad, but the clinic has one I’ve been using so I can type up emails and blog entries at home so when I get to internet it’s a quick copy and paste. Should make keeping you all updated a lot easier. By the way, if any of you have specific questions or things you’ve been wondering about, don’t be afraid to ask and I’ll do my best to answer them. I’m just rambling on about whatever for now, so some direction is always appreciated! Hehe Umm… there was a women’s soccer game held in my village on Tuesday against a group of South African visitors that had stopped there for a few days on a journey around Botswana. The Batswana were short players so I offered to play and got assigned to goal keeper. Haha so that was fun! I managed to not let any balls by so now the team thinks I’m good and has asked me to play with them in a tournament this weekend. That should be interesting! Wish me luck! Haha

Alright, sorry this one is short and kind of abrupt, but that's all I've got time to write for now! Like I said, I'll try to update more often so each entry isn't an all day event. ;) Hope everyone is doing well! Oh, and HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!
