Good Morning/Afternoon/Whatever People,

I know it has been quite a while since my last installment, and I apologize for this. I hope everyone is great, and if you're not, well, there really isn't anything I can do about it anyway. So tough sh#%t.

I currently have about 3 weeks left in training (I swear in on Dec. 9th), and Jen and I then move to Nambuma, which is about an hour northwest of the capital city Lilongwe. We just finished our site visit today, and are extremely excited about the possibilities that our community holds.

As for me, I am getting extremely hairy, both in the face, and the length of my hair on my head. I would most likely be referred to as a dirty ass hippie back home. Along with this, I am happy to say that I am on a tri-weekly bathing schedule, and it is in the form of bucket baths. So awesome is the word of the day.

Not much else to report besides the fact that Malawi is home, and I'm happy as hell about it. I miss most of you, and look forward to seeing as many of you here as possible. Seriously. In about three weeks, I should have internet access about 1-3 times per month, so if you send it, I will respond . . . eventually.

Otherwise, take care, and remember that it is much warmer where I am than were you are. Although I do have a greater chance of contracting malaria. Hmm.

Peace
