Back in Chisinau.
I love visiting with other volunteers, but I like being home as well. My sister, Alina, told me that her favorite moment was having me move in with her family. My mother, Ludmilla, patched up the chimney of my soba today so I'm hoping no more problems with CO. I feel so lucky to be with such nice people. The past few weeks in my village have been the happiest I've had in Moldova. The PC security officer just thinks I need to air out my house more... and that it's not a serious issue. So should be fine.

Okay, dad was the one who sent me the soup mixes and other things so I wanted to say hi and that I love him, too :). I love the comic strips you cut out for me. They're on my table and I read them in the morning while I drink tea and listen to BBC.
