First Congregational UCC - Platteville

Dumelang, Bagaetsho!

My visit home was wonderful. The wedding was beautiful and I saw so many people who I had been missing terribly and I swing danced AND salsa danced. :)

The morning after I got back to Botswana, I was called into the Peace Corps office to be given the sad news that I am being sent home. I am refraining from telling the whole story. It’s too much and too personal to say in a mass email. I just wanted to stop you from spending unecessary shipping costs for letters and packages.

I have gotten such positive feedback for the novels I send you from Botswana! :) I will send a few more cultural observations and descriptions of what closure was like, for my peace of mind, as well as yours, perhaps.

Thank you for your continued support, thoughts, and prayers. I am heartbroken to leave early but, as I told my parents last night, home is a wonderful place to go.

Love,
Leah
