So, I have been learning how to make a basket out of palm leaves. It's not that difficult so far, just takes a lot of time. And I made it really loose, but it's my first one, so oh well. The guy who is teaching me is a neighbor and friend of the other American. He is patient with me, which is good because I'm a really slow basket maker. And his son is in my class.

Well, I just got back from a Peace Corps meeting in Gaza. Fifty-two new Americans will be coming to Mozambique at the end of the month to start their PC service. Twelve will be working with health (HIV, AIDS, orphans) and the other 40 will be English or Biology teachers. I will be greeting them when they get off the plane and then spending a week with them in training too. It will be exciting. So, I've been here for almost one year. I just found out that two of my friends from America are engaged and soon to be married, which is exciting.
