Chitindi village--Here I come!

Thanks for the messages everyone! Right now i am in petauke boma, which is the nearest town to where i will live the next two years. i was at at my site yesterday and the day before and it is beautiful! I was greeted by a group of villagers who SOO excited for me to arrive. It was awesome! My temporary hut is also amazing, but they will soon be building me a bigger, better house, which is hard to imagine. I have the cutest little fenced in yard with a pretty tree and cooking shelter in front. The family on the compound seems really nice, but they don't speak much English. The predominant language of the area is Chinsenga, a dialect of Chinyanja, the language i've been studying for the last month. Its going to be difficult to learn two different languages, but I don't think I'll have any trouble finding someone to tutor me in the village. I have to go now, but I will hopefully get back online on Saturday, and tell more fabulous details.
