So one more posting before I'm back at site. I just got back to province a few days ago. I am working on making barbque tonight! Yummy!!! Anyways, then I will head back to site via the boma where I have to stop by their office and touch base with some people about some things. So anyways, I'll be glad to make it back to site. The new volunteers flew in yesterday? Hard to believe I've been here a year!! I might meet a few while they are on first sight visit. It'll depend on how things are at sight. I have a lot of things to catch up on when I get back. And a few visitors are going to visit for a few days. So I am sure I'll be busy. However I don't plan on coming back in to town until mid march so I should be at site for a good stretch and be able to do some good work. Mom just came to visit and we had a good time. Saw Vic falls, it's AMAZING!!! I can't imagine what it would have been like to be david livingstone and see them way back when. It was great fun having family here though. My family at site was equally as excited as I was! We all had a great time together. But for now it's back to work. Peace out and know that I love ya'll. Oh and if you haven't seen pictures of my life here then call my mom, she took tons while she was here and I want' yall all to see my beautiful family! Love ya vic

Been a long time

So it's been a long time since I have written anything. Sorry sorry. So I will try and recap my life for the past 2 months! Thanksgiving came it was loads of fun. Katharine was still here so we and 40 other volunteers celebrated at the PC house in Solwezi. It was a really good time. We had lots of chicken. I killed one of them with a big knife. It took 3 trys to get the job done but it all worked out in the end. Well it worked out for me but not for the poor chicken. Anyways we had a huge feast with garlic mashed potatoes, green bean cassarole, stuffing, pumpking pie, apple pie etc etc. It was amazing!!! Then I went back to site for a few weeks and a friend came up to visit for christmas. We had a good time celebrating christmas in my village together. We went to see the source of the zambezi on christmas eve day and then on christmas we went to christmas morning mass and then we ate lunch with the sisters and the priest. Then we had christmas dinner with my family and opened presents that night. They gave me and Maureen ours in the morning. They gave us matching chetenges so that was thoughtful. It was a really great christmas though. Then we went to Lusaka where we met up with a lot of other volunteers and enjoyed the coming of the new year together. Oh a bit of exciting new between thanksgiving and christmas. I went monkey hunting!!! Let me tell you 7 hours of walking in the bush at a ridiculously fast speed is not easy!!!! Luckily there were some fresh berries around and honey right from the comb so we had a snack and some water after 4 hours of ridiculously fast walking!!! Serioulsy ya'll we proably walked at least 40K! Anyways that's all for now outta time, love ya vic
