Lumela, Friends and Family!
Today finds me sitting in an internet cafe in Teyateyaneng! Peace Corps has graciously granted us trainees a much needed day of shopping, relaxation, and civilization! YAY for chicken fingers and chips for lunch! I'm happy to report that things are as wonderful as ever in LEsotho- I must still be in the inevitable honey-moon period because I truly love it here. My Sesotho skills are blossoming, and I can hold full conversations about my family, my work, and what I love about Lesotho in Sesotho... THANK YOU to my 'M'e for endlessly talking to me and putting up with my confused looks as I try to figure out what in the world is going on. The woman has the patience of Job. :)
Next week we finally find out our sites- So everyone here is sitting on pins and needles until next Thursday! I can't wait to find out where I'll be living and working for the next few years. Prays that they'll send me to the mountains are appreciated... I just fell in love with the mountains when I was out visiting Mokhotlong a few weeks ago. SO gorgeous! It makes living in the middle of nowhere seem absolutely worth it!
And at the end of next week (starting next Sunday) we'll be visiting our new sites- So next week I'll be out of contact, but finally getting to meet my new family and colleagues! I can't wait!
I'll keep this short, because a Coca-Cola and hot chips (fries) are calling to me from the hotel down the road (ie. the secret hot spot for "as close to American food as it gets in Lesotho").
Sending everyone lots of love! Hopefully I'll be able to post pictures in a few weeks!
Khotso! (Peace!) -Mary Beth
