Hello From Morocco!!!

I am so sorry that I have not been able to post more frequently. The internet in Liberia is virtually non-existent, and even when present is slower than can be imagined. A pastor asked me to download Internet Explorer on his computer because he did not have the disk, but the download speed was less than 1kb per second. It would have taken years (literally) to do at that point.

Now that I can write I am almost at a loss as to what to say. I'll start with big picture things and move into smaller details later. My health and the health of all of the team is excellent. There have been some meals that I have had some concerns about but not eating food offered to me by those who are making a sacrifice to offer it was not an option. My riskiest meal was the send-off meal from Liberia in which I ate a sardine salad sandwich. Although it agreed with me, I have no plans to add it to my diet:)

I was in Monrovia, Liberia last week doing round two of the teacher training workshops in the morning and seminary/computer training in the afternoons. It all went very well. It was wonderful to work alongside fantastic American teachers. Our mission was to teach Liberian teachers how to write effective lesson plans, what teaching strategies they can use, and how they can handle classroom management. We worked with well over 200 teachers that came from more than 80 schools.

I am headed out for a walk....some team members are going out since we have some time to go explore...sorry this is being cut off in mid-thought but when in Morocco...don't sit indoors when there is a walk taking place...
