Almost time for my host Family :)
I am having a great time here in Cotonu, Benin. All of the people are very nice and helpful no matter what I need. I changed my money at the Western Union today--bring $100 bills and you can get the best exchange!!!! I take malaria pills everyday and shots such as typhoid on Wednesday! I had my first tutoring session today with my teacher--he is very nice---I am in the Novice Low level but am very determined to learn as fast as I can. The staff here is great and I have 100% confidence in them! :) I am going to have training tomorrow for the motos!! (main transportation here in Cotonu! I also had my interview discussing my post-I have really no idea where I will be posted though. We shall see! Also, I do not know how I am going to get all of my stuff into a taxi to get to my post! I have now a moto helmet, bike, bike helmet, french books from my teacher and staff, and my 80 pounds of things I brought from the USA! If there is a will there is a way!! Haha I am having a great time and will try to keep my blog updated. Can't wait to meet my host family so I can get some clothes made for me!

ReplyDeleteKayla,
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the start of a really exciting adventure. I can't wait to hear about your host family AND about all of the children who you will influence through your instruction and love in the coming months. This is awesome!
