hello friends!

Hey guys!
sorry I havn't gotten on here to write! I've been occupied with other things, but here I am! Apologies for any typos because their keyboards are a bit different! It' been a rough, long start. I miss you all so much and can't wait to come home already. It's been very difficult to adjust to everything here, and I know that's the way it is, but I feel like it's taking a little longer than usual.
I have meet all the volunteers that are here in Senegal. They are all very friendly and nice. They are nearly all British which is really cool but I'm starting to even think in their accents! When I'm with them it keeps my mind off of things, so that's nice. Lastnight we went out to dinner at the Galaxie and then went to this dance show. The dancing was quite interesting but the music was very good! I think you would have enjoyed the drums, Nick!
I did finally start my placement today! The school is small but very beautiful! It's right on the river too! The teacher I'm working with is really nice! His name is Mr. Brown. They also have internet there that I can use for free! So I will continue to write more there! I work on Tuesday, thursday and Friday, and then on Mondays I will go to Sor and work with hi, at a different school!
I'm out of time so I will write more later! Sorry! I love and miss you all very much! Thanks for praying!
Your Lu

Great to hear from you! Glad to hear you have some easy internet access!

So how is it, sleeping under mosquito netting? What about the food? Can't wait to hear more details!

Will you be returning to us with some sort of accent?

Continuing to pray!
Love, Mom

Its good to hear from you again dear. I am glad to hear that you are having a good time. Keep up the good work you are doing and get to know some good people.

My advice is to make the best out of everything God does for you there.

I love you and miss you, but i will be very busy the next few weeks so if i can't respond much that is why.

'Ello. I understand how going to a new place can be both cool and scary at the same time. in my shyness its hard for me to get "aquinted" with new people and places.

I hope the food is at least Ok..if not down right good.

MYM and LYL
Peace
