Dear Friends and Family,
On October 28th, I am going abroad with the Peace Corps to work as a science teacher in Namibia, Africa. The job is 27 months long with about two months of in country training. After training, I will find out which school, town and grade level I will be teaching.
I know that emails, letters and reading/commenting on my blog will be really encouraging as I start this new job (All information below). So please write!
Patience is a virtue I will be learning these next two years. For example, the Namibian postal system mostly trustworthy, however, It will take about two weeks for something to reach me and about two months for me to mail a letter back to the states. Internet access is slow dial-up and rare, by US standards. I am planning on being able to check email and post blog entries about once a week, at first, and once a month as a move to a more remote location. But don't let this discourage you from writing!
Some of you have been dealing with the packing and panic attacks and others didn't know when I was leaving, or that I was even traveling abroad. Either way, your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.

Your adventurous enthusiasm is infectious. I am so pleased that you have such a courageous heart. Keep it - it is envied by myself and many others.
I read a book lately that I will have sent to you...so look for it in the mail. It is called In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day.
It is the way you are living right now.
God bless and be good.

Don't forget to take airborne so you don't catch anything like the namibia.
God's blessings on your trip and on your time in Namibia.
I know you will have a wonderful experience, teaching the kids, and learning lots of new things yourself.
We love you!
