As I said to you on the phone when we spok...Anna: <br /><br />As I said to you on the phone when we spoke - I love reading your blog because you sound just the same in person as you do in your words. I had several laugh out loud moments reading this particular post because, as Kristy similarly commented, I can just picture your annoyed expression. I am so glad to hear that you are finding your way in Africa of all places. Even though we are so connected via text message and the internet, it still seems light years away from here. You should know that every time Kristen and I speak of you being in Africa serving with the Peace Corps there is always a tone of pride in our voices. It is so neat to be able to say to someone, "well, MY sister-in-law Anna is currently teaching math in AFRICA! (aside: what does YOUR sister-in-law do that is even half as interesting?)" We love seeing the pictures as well. Africa is definitely not America. TV shows do a good job of portraying every ounce of suffering that goes on over there. What they tend to leave out is anything good that exists. If it wasn't for people like you that do what you are doing and give us reports about people being able to do something like learn math, we would think of Africa as only a desolate continent filled with NOTHING but starving and disease ravaged people. The dichotomy between have and have-not exists there as it does all over the world.
