Hello, all.....7/21 departed from Atlanta, GA on Delta, (got to see the aquarium on Wheal shark from Taiwan) 7/22 arrived at Johannasburg 1-1/2 hrs late so whole group strained in airport hotel till next day, got divided in 3 groups to get to Lusaka, Zambia.....lot of luggage not come till 3 days later.......2 out of 3 of mine came one a day....

The training program got all massed up for the late arrivals so we had been working two weekends to catch up time loss.....more medicines and more shots.....but got a trip to most northwest fish ponds for 3 days, it was a real African experieance. Picgtures later.....

We got back to out side of Lusaka a PC tranining center for more training on pond fishing and language......asigned to live with host families for 2 nights now. I got my bike yesterday, it is way nicer then mine but the road is bumpy sandy and bikers have to use the road side drainage when cars coming or going, and hold the brathe and close your eyes....just kidding, but close to reality.....

One young girl quit after field trip and a few did not show up today......hope all be proud of the recognition of their own calls and be proud of their gut to stand up for it - to go home. I am still in so far, my friends......host Mom sent her daughter to escort me to town - Lusaka for the internet....got to go home now......till next time........Love you all, Cheng
