A Quick line

I just wanted to drop a short line about our new status. Katie and I find out next Saturday our village of Post. Where ever we go It will be great. We just have to make the best of it and get out of it what we want. With this news: If you are sending mail to the Private Bag address make sure all mail is sent from the U.S. by June 1st or soon after to ensure that we get it before we leave training and go to our post. Once we get to our post we will update with a permanent address. Thanks for the letters by the way. Mail time is like Christmas here.

Short story: So we walk to training around 7:50 am every day because we live close to the Hope Center where we do our language and cross culture. Erica stops at our place at 7:40 to pick us up and then we head out. I day is brightened every morning by this little girl...maybe 4 who, every day on, consistant as the sun, will run her little bear feet out to meet the lekjoas (white people). I can picture here little bald head giving each and every one of your hands a high five, a low five with the biggest smile. No words exchanged just smile. Then she runs here little feet back to here family who are all cooking by the fire. This process in repeated like clock work at 4:30-5 every day after school too. She is such a treat to look forward to each day. The morning she didn't great us I got worried but she was back at 4 just like usual. It was cold that morning.
