Random Update

Ok so I have been over in Burkina for awhile and so far you have received only a few (one) posts.  There is a very good reason for this! The reason is internets.  I have it occasionally and I had about 3 blog posts drafted on my tablet and I biked over to the cafe on my day off two weeks ago and their wifi doesn't work on tablets.  So I went home and let another week pass by and again on my day off I loaded up my tablet and biked over to a wifi hotspot that I knew would work with my tablet.  I opened my backpack and I was ever so excited to share my exploits with all you people and alas, my tablet screen was broken.  I will be able to fix it in Ouaga next week, but in the meantime you will be getting none of my fun updates and amusing stories.  Also when I do get a chance to upload those posts they won't be in chronological order anymore, but I trust to the mental fortitude of my readers in assuming that you will be able to figure it out.  In the meantime here is a speed update on my time so far.

I have been at the training site for several weeks now and my language is progressing nicely, I can say a lot of things, but I can't understand as much as I can say which gets me into trouble sometimes.  For instance I have agreed to marry several women here, they all thought it to be quite hilarious.  All the other kids are nice to me so that makes the long days in class a lot more enjoyable.  My host family has been fantastic (more to come on this).  Polygamy is very common in Burkina so I get two Moms, which is just as awesome as you would think it is, I get double spoiled. I shall leave it hear for now because I am hoping that there shall be oodles of updates coming to you from Burkina starting next week, fingers crossed everyone.

Also I get my official site announcement tomorrow so I will know where I will be living for the next few years, I will try to post about that this week!
