Finally, We heard from Julia!

Finally, finally, finally, we heard from Julia! Saturday I was contacted by the father of a Peace Corp worker who is in her second year in Niger. Julia was spending time at her home, and we were able to call Julia through her phone.

Julia sounded happy! She said she was feeling fine and could not begin to describe her experience. She promised she has sent some blog information for me to post. She is living with a host family during her training (until sometime in September), a French speaking family of 11, a dad with 2 wives and 8 children. She says it's a little crowded.

She says the training is difficult, but she will succeed! Her French is coming along. Since "everyone has a cell phone," she will be getting one in about 2 weeks, so we'll hear from her more often.

Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully, I'll have more news soon. Julia's proud Mom, Carol

Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things."

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

its a great big world
