Yes, we are alive and well. I know everybody is anxious to see some pictures, but they are proving impossible to upload. We will figure something out and post some soon. We have not had as much access to internet as expected because our days are packed so full. This past week Miranna started teaching model school: a free summer school for local kids so we can practice our teaching. Charlie is learning how to weigh babies and has started learning our local language: adja. So needless to say, free time that was previously spent after school checking email now goes to lesson planning or language studying. We have a lot to write about and hope to catch up soon: our host family, model school, our visit to Lalo.
A week ago we spent a few days in Lalo and the surrounding area checking out where we will be living for the next two years and meeting our work counterparts. We’ll write more about this in the new future, but all in all it was a good visit and we look forward to settling down there at the end of September.
Thank you for all of your emails, we will work on typing up responses this week and sending out updates soon. Keep them coming. A few of you have asked what you can send us: magazines or books, pictures, individually packaged snacks and drink mixes, anything creative you can think of that will fit in a padded envelope and entertain us, and of course old fashioned letters with all your news. Our address is in an older post below. Merci en avance.

There you are! You sound very busy, but good. Our neighbors who moved to Tanzania are having difficulties uploading pictures, too, but we'll all try to wait patiently for them. We're trying to send out a package, soon. It will be hard to fit ourselves into a padded envelope, though! Miss you!
