This is where I live

So I made it back to Ripple also known as Mwaya Beach.

I never knew when I decided to volunteer in Africa I would be living at the most beautiful place ever.

I live in this lovely little cabin.

Sorry for the poor Iphone quality.

Where I can sit on the porch and watch the monkeys act insane.

This baby monkey is so cute and curious.

Or I can go hang out on the beach.
It is kind of pretty there.

I am now in Lilongwe (which is the capitol if you remember) to get my paperwork turned it.

This is my last step!

I took the 8 hour bus ride today, it was not too bad.

I had a book and read the whole second half of it.

I need to look for another one.

I am planning on trying to get my paperwork done in the morning and heading right back to Mwaya.

This last week has been a pretty relaxing one.

I went up to the Chintheche Hospital on Monday and was able to see around.

Then Tuesday I went to Kachare clinic and did more malaria testing.

It is nice to see around and see what my options are for working.

I am getting anxious to figure out what I can do to really make a difference.

I am not a patient person when it comes to things like this.

I am trying to remind myself that I have a long time and it takes time to learn.

It is very important to learn the system of everything and build a rapport with the staff before diving in.

I am excited to have a full week next week and find some work to do! 

I am especially excited to get back to the beach already.

I think you can see why I prefer it to the city.

I will leave you with a picture of these school boys. Karate chopping for every picture seems to be necessary.
I was quite proud of one though, he remembered my name from when I visited his class over a month ago!
