Got my first package from home yesterday! My sister June sent my three monthly magazines...Prevention, Daily Word, and Grapevine, along with herbal tea bags. Those will help keep me healthy...physically and emotionally! It took three weeks to reach me, but I'm sure that at least a week was lost going to Rabat, then Azrou, then here to my community. Am guessing airmail will be to me in two weeks once I'm in my permanent site. Other packages not airmail will likely take a month or so.

Winter weather is starting to arrive. Wind today was very chilly and our classroom was, too. Time to get out the long johns I've stashed in the bottom of my duffel.

Here's a photo of me on a borrowed computer doing emails and blogging, next to Frank, another volunteer.
