I'm in Africa!!!

Well, it was quite a long trip but I finally arrived here around 5:40pm Wednesday evening here. Had a lot of delays in flights and cancellations but didn't miss any flights, my luggage arrived with me, and it only took minutes to confirm my visa on arrival, woohoo!!! I live in a flat with 3 girls, there are 4 more from our team upstairs and in surrounding areas a lot more. My school is about a 10 min walk but I haven't been there yet. They let me have today off to rest and unpack. The girls were very welcoming and made me dinner, etc last ngiht. Today I played with Jerusalem, our neighbor who's about 5ish. She's adorable! Then got tea on the street, exchanged some money, and went to a team meeting. It was great to get out of the flat today and meet everyone. Oh, and another praise- my brother in law gave me his cell phone from Malaysia to try here. All it needed was a new sim card, well one of the girls had been given a free card from a parent at school and it worked in my phone. So, I didn't have to pay for a phone or a card- AND it came with some time on the card!!!! I was super excited, like jumping up and down. And then the internet was working when I got home- it hadn't been since I got here. Ok- it's late and I need a shower and sleep. Everyone needs to get skype (slype.com) so we can talk. Miss you all!!!!
