Have you ever seen such a great model!

So stoic.

So heavy-hearted.

So pensive.

I saw some wild turkeys the week of Thanksgiving.

A really interesting insect.

I may have taken the term "Model School" too literally. Photo by Cameron Cuchulainn.

Well, we just finished our first week of model school and it went extremely well. The first day I did not do very well but I feel like I really found my teaching style Wednesday and Thursday. I am really excited for week two of model school and am especially excited to leave for Massinga. Hopefully after I arrive, I will be able to upload some of the drawings I have been making over the past two months.

Life is really good. Next week, we have model school and will find out where we will be spending the next two years. I had an amazing trip. Chase and I were lucky to be able to visit three different volunteer sites (Vilankulo, Machanga, and Inhassoro).

Notice how clean the tip of my toe was because I had a Band-Aid on it.

I have been making my photos very sharp in order to make things a little more interesting for me. I would great appreciate feedback on this. For Halloween, we all dressed up and paraded through town. It was a lot of fun and a true test for how much embarassement we can all handle. We finished our five weeks of intensive language training and the Language Proficiency Test went very well on Friday. Monday, we all are going to visit different volunteers at their "Sites" throughout Mozambique. I am going to Machanga in Sofala Province after a day in Vilankulo.
