So, hmm uh training is almost over on Wednesday April 25, I will be sworn in. I will be staying in Chulu village at Kasungu National Park. I really like it there. Ive been having a great time and have been really busy learning Chichewa and drinking a lot a beer. Its a tuff life. Its really beautiful here and everyone is cool. So soon I will be able to save the world and all the animals. I really look foward to it. Miss you guys and love you. I now have a cell phone and the number is 0112659117008. My village has electricity, although I do not, but my phone should always be on, feel free to call me. So to recap on training, we learned about beekeeping, making mudstoves, drawing maps and much more, mostly learning the language though. I've spent the last two weeks traveling about, I went to Kasungu to visit my site, it was fun. My counterpart is very cool and gave me his dog, a big fat lazy cute dog. So I wont be lonely. So after a week there I went to Mchinji, where I stayed in a very nice guest Inn in a forrest and studied Chichewa. We have our final chichewa exam on Monday, which we have to pass to be sworn in, I think Ill do OK. Now im in the capital Lilongwe in transit to Dedza Malawi College of Forestry for the weekend. Then I will be coming back to Lilongwe for swering in then I will be leaving for my site on Thursday the 26th where I will be more or less for 3 months straight. But I am really having a good time and I love it hear in Malawi.
