Big week!

Tomorrow we find out where we will be placed for the next two years of our life--and on Friday we will make the trip to see our sites for a few days, meet the villagers, scope out our houses, and meet our new Malawian counterparts.

The excitement and anticipation is seriously palpable. 

Will we have to start a fire every time we cook? Will we have running water or electricity? Will we be in the mountains or lake side? Will we be placed by a rural health center or in a city near a hospital? Will we have easy access to water and transportation? Will we be close to one another? Will we be in a Muslim or Christian community? How hot/ cold is it going to be where we live? Can I integrate or will I just be thought of as some rich privileged azungu?

We know which languages we speak so we know roughly where in the country we will be ( I'm Chitumbuka, so I'll be in there north) but that's literally all we know.

Everything we have been dreaming about  and worrying about throughout our entire application process, acceptance, and PST training period is going to become a reality this week.
