Devil´s Layer

hello again! i feel like i am on the computer way more than i should be...oops! when i talked about thread the other day i meant embrodiary(or however you spell it) to make bracelets. i had a language test on friday, but it didnt go so hot. i know that i can speak much better portuguese than i did during my interview...but oh well i guess i still have 5 more weeks to learn. the other day one of my cousins came over for dinner and she told me that i need to eat more because i am not a fat american and that i need to get more fat like my sister melita, and she said this right infront of my sister. i thought it seemed really odd, but i guess here it is not a big deal. for all of you that are doubting that i will come back single...think again! i dont think that i could ever be an african wife. there is no man who will tell me what i can and cant do :) so next week we go on site visits. basically we go and stay with a current volunteer for a week to get a better idea of what service will be like. i am going to tete province...hence why my blog is titled devils layer. the guy that i am staying with said that right now it is about 105 in the sun. ohhh my gosh i think that i am going to die~, but at least this way i will have grounds for telling the peace corps why i dont want to be stationed there. i am also very haopy to inform all of you that i have gotten over my fear of mice, cockroaches,and spiders. well not totally but i dont scream when i see them anymore, and if i see a spider on the wall i just let him be. that way he can kill all of the mosquitos that want to give me malaria. i feel like everything i write is so random. and then after i leave the internet cafe i think of all of the important stuff. did i mentoion that last weekend this lady here told me that i could sell my hair here fo $200 us dollars. she mentioned that darma do bling would buy it. darma do blig is this huge time rap supestar here, she is actaully pretty good, but funny that my family wants me to sell my hair to her. i am pretty excited to start teaching. i have actually been preparing for my lessons lately, and the students get really excited, i know that this will be an exception in the classroom, but if even 5 kids want to learn that will totally make my day.
love and miss you all...hopefully i have a good report when i retun next week.

Hello my "random" niece. Your technologically challenged uncle may be able to make this work. We'll see. Hope all is well with you. Glad I don't have to learn a new language. It's almost winter I'm sure you'll miss that. I'm glad you won't be bringing home an African husband. Talk about culture shock.
love allen

Hi Lindsay - I finally sat down and read thru your blog - sorry it took so long, but I get my fill of computers at work and don't spend time on it at home. Sounds like you're doing well and are learning alot about their culture. I'm amazed that you can see mice, roaches and spiders without screaming - YUK!! We look forward to reading additional updates. I'll check with your mom and send you some things on your "wish list". Take care - We love you and miss you.

You will have to expound on some of the things you want. The battery charger-for all types of batteries? That might be about it--I think i understand the rest, or can get your sisters' help. It had been cold here. 23 when I went to work today. Will call on Sunday this week. love, Mama

Hi Lindsay!!!! Glad to hear everything is going well for you!!!I would be freaking out about the spiders though! Sorry this is the first time I have posted anything.
Not too much new here. Matai turned 1 on October 28th. Alei and his g/f Adrea made a surprise visit from Georgia!!!! Everybody new they were coming but me! My mom and dad were at my house along with Nick,and Alicia. I went to answer the door and there was Alei and Adrea! I was so surprised to see them. 1st birthdays are a huge celebration in Samoa so it was nice that Alei and Adrea could make it for that.
Nefu will be going to Georgia over Thanksgiving time to see Desmond because he is graduating from Marine Corp boot camp.
Anything you want me to send you?
Love and miss you lots!
Love, Nefu, Brooke, and Matai
