news!

The wait is over! There is news of little Bekah! However, it won't be as witty or informative as if she were posting it herself.

This is Sarah, Bekah's oldest sister. I had the chance to talk with her this morning for a few minutes. She said I could post something for you all if I wanted. If you all are anything like I have been, a new post on here will make your day.

First of all, she sounded WONDERFUL! So, so happy. I caught her studying between training and she was conjugating verbs. Let me start from the beginning...

Bekah got there safely. All of her luggage arrived. She was able to get a cell phone and text me from it. For some reason texting is cheap, but calls are expensive. So I called her back. She said there hasn't been anything that she is really wishing she packed and can't live without.

It sounds like she is pretty busy with training, but is enjoying her host family. She has plans to use internet next Friday and will make a post then. She also only gets mail on Thurs as the mail is sent to the capital and then brought to her village once a week. So she hasn't gotten any yet, but keep writing!
