Happy 4th of July!
Yesterday, as I was on the phone with my mom telling her I was planning to fly over to Madagascar soon to check on my sister, her cell phone rang and Kinsey was on the other line. The phone call didn't last long, but she told my mom that she was doing o.k. and asked us to call her today (July 4) at 6am our time (1pm her time). We tried calling for about an hour but our phone calls didn't go through. Then at about 9am she called us again and we were able to talk to her for a few minutes. Here is what we learned...
1.) She is doing well & loves and misses us all! (She did sound really good, and we were all thankful to hear her voice.)
2.) She is already getting tired of eating rice...but because of the holiday the Peace Corps brought in Turkey (which they don't have over there) along with hamburgers, pizza and ice cream for the volunteers. She was very excited about the good food.
3.) It is almost always damp there and the temperature has been in the 50's and low 60's. She misses summer!
4.) While she is not fluent in Malagasy yet, she is catching on and had just taken a language test earlier in the morning.
5.) She has received a few letters from the U.S. and told us her letters would take longer to get back over here to us. Keep checking your mailbox!
6.) All the PC volunteers are headed into a larger city tomorrow where she hopes she will have internet access. Hopefully the next post will be from her!
Until we hear more,
