Things to come!

I know it's been a while. I finally got some internet access today while staying in Rundu. I'm visiting Megan for one of her final weekends and spending some time tomorrow taking care of things at the ministry. Hopefully I will be able to have more consistent internet starting next week. Wish Me luck!!
Well Namibia has been pretty great. I have a huge post on my thumb drive that I will put up soon, but at least I can go through some of the highlights. Teaching changes every day. I love working with my learners and seeing them around the village and Town, but lesson planning takes a lot of time, especially with very few resources, and marking is the bain of my existence. It's hard to have your first teaching experience in a small rural school in which english is the second or third language. There is not that much support, but I try to get through. My colleagues are still great. I've started playing net ball with some of my learners on Mondays and Wednesdays. I've also started to cook more. I have learned to make a mean pizza sauce, and I'm currently working on a marshmallow pie. I live a very exciting life.

I do have one bit of news. I think I'm going to try to do a fund raiser for my school in Namibia. I'm not sure on the details yet but I will keep everyone posted. I'm going to try to raise some funds and run some kilometers all at the same time. Hopefully my experience in development will pay off (nice pun, right?). Ok I can't write too long, but I will be posting more soon with more updates. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing well. I miss home a lot, but Namibia is truly special.
Much love.
