Heading Home

Well, since my last post things in Zambia have been great! I really love this country and the people. Unfortunately though, I've lost maybe 20 pounds since I arrived even though I have made an effort to eat a lot. And truly, I have eaten more here than I usaully do at home. However, I don't think it is wise for me to remain here if I am losing 10 pounds a week! I know the trend is likely not to continue at that rate, but it is not a good choice to take the risk when overall health is concerned. The day before yesterday I was able to pull my pants off without unzipping or un-buttoning them, and I can see my pelvis showing where it didn't before.

So, I am here in Lusaka at Peace Corps headquarters squaring things away... I should be on my way home in the next couple of days. I am really sad to be leaving Zambia and I'm not sure what my next move in life is going to be when I return. I think I might just go back to school and work on a Master's degree. I've already looked at a few Universities that sent me offers before I left and possible employment in the areas around those universities. We'll see... please pray for me, this will be a challenging and disorienting time.

See you soon.

From the Zambian Capital,
