Life As Of Late

So, it's been awhile. Hopefully you're all doing well back home (wherever that is). Things here have been good. I was going to update my site about a month ago and then discovered that nothing too exciting had been happening, so I didn't have much to report. Life in the village has been good.
Life in Zambia has been very cold. Every night I sleep up in Mporokoso, I'm thankful that my predecessor left his blanket for me so that I have two to keep me warm with. I bet it gets around 40 or so at night. It is bloody cold, and doesn't warm up until 10 or 11 in the morning. But then it's a good 70 or 80 out.
I just finished up being the PC Volunteer of the week at the training center that I was at last fall which was nice. The new trainees that will be posted in August are a fun group that should be a good addition to the PC Zambia family. I must admit, I didn't have a real active role in the week...but was able to answer a lot of questions that they had concerning what life is really like for a volunteer.
The family I stay with just had a recent addition to the family a few weeks ago. Her name is Kapembwa. It was funny because bamayo (mom) was working just as hard as ever, and then on a Friday afternoon I was taking off to go work and she came out of the house to inform me that she had a baby in the house. It was a very cute little thing not even 24 hours old.
Right now I'm in Lusaka at the Peace Corps HQ where I'm working on a grant proposal. I just finished making an integration manual in Bemba that I'll be able to give to some of my farmers at some point in time in the near future hopefully.
Tomorrow I go to the airport to pick up my friend Justin who's coming to visit for a few weeks. We'll eventually head to Livingstone, Zanzibar, and Mporokoso. Then, July 25 I board a plane to return home.
I'm incredibly excited to see a lot of you and to experience America again, even if it is only for a few weeks. Take care everyone, and I'll talk to you soon.
