Weird, huh? Anyway, the swearing-in ceremony is when we cease to be trainees and become official "volunteers".<BR/><BR/>d: I've not heard of such a requirement, so you can probably assume it has been waived for a while, since 95% of the sites in this cycle are replacements, and many of them do not share villages. If it helps your peace of mind, the trend in BF is toward clustering rather than away. If it weren't for ET's, I would have 5 neighbors within a two-hour bike ride rather than only three.<BR/><BR/>E (M!): Thank you!! Nope, no snail mail for me in the last few loads.<BR/><BR/>S: Less talk, more action. Get your butt over here and bring it! By the time you get here, I'll be super fit from all the biking.David Duckworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17200580252079307881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083935606295010294.post-38997866536523938282008-07-15T17:58:00.000-04:002008-07-15T17:58:00.000-04:00Ok, so seriously.

Post some dang pictures before I come over there and beat you. Don't forget I am bigger than you. Paige says she loves and misses you but you know I don't. Sounds like things are going great. Hope it stays that way. I really do miss you little brother. Can't wait to read the next post.

I'm glad that you are excited about your site as well as your subject! :> These are important elements of happiness for the next two or so years. :P <BR/><BR/>If transport is iffy, though, I wonder about internet, so we may not hear from you very often. Keep in mind that you have many, many friends stateside who miss you and are jealous, uh, I mean excited for you! :>Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171957358534316926noreply@blogger.com
