An Apology

Sorry about the infrequency with which I've been writing, but, as you might imagine, things are quite busy now. We have been taking classes in just about everything you can imagine, meeting our new sites (which I'll talk about later), and being generally awesome, which, as you know, can consume quite a lot of your time.

But, if you'd like a quick update, tomorrow is the big language test that determines if we can stay here and do our work or if we have to stay here and do our work after signing a piece of paper that says we'll also keep working on our language. If we don't have to sign the paper, we still have to keep working on our language ability.

Also, next Thursday is our Swearing In, which means that we become official volunteers and get to start accruing vacation time. I'll probably write about that some time in the future as well. And I'll start uploading photos once I've gotten into my own place (February 1st, inshaallah), so jusy keep hanging on a little longer, ok?

Hey Duncan,
Glad to hear you're OK and enjoying re-enacting your favorite scenes out of Spartacus. You can almost tell yourself the loofah is a "lather builder".
We're excited that you're developing the youts even if they are unruly youts.
We made crazy French woman pot roast with whipped potatoes and peas. It was mighty tasty and we followed ALL the directions. Even the silly ones.
Rome was great, got you your own bust of Augustus. Sorry, too heavy to ship, have to wait on that one.
Have fun. SanDimasHighSchoolfootballrules! Be excellent to each other [and the unruly youts].
-Stu & Amy
