Changes are happening!

I am again at an internet store checking email and thought I would say hello (Thobela)!  Since my last quick post there are changes potentially happening with my site placement so until further notice please hold off on sending me letters, candy, pictures, coffee, cookies, books, art supplies (you get the picture that I want goodies!) until further notice.  There are a couple of changes in the works so I may or may not have the same name/address.  I will let you know soon (I know you hang on my every word).
This will be my last week at our training/host site with my small community of Peace Corps "family" and my wonderful host family (pictures to come soon) and I will officially be sworn in as a volunteer (of course if I pass the tests that we will be taking on Monday and Tuesday).  Then, I will be taken away to my new community where I will be officially on my own.  Scary but true.  I will start making a home for myself meeting my co-workers, family and community.  I will let everyone know where I will be staying shortly and look forward to having more frequent internet access (I hope).

Oh, for anyone who is getting ready or thinking about joining the Peace Corps...it's an amazing opportunity but nothing I or anyone else can tell you will prepare you for this journey.  You just have to take it.
