Cheyanne - a "teacher of teachers" with the Peace Corps in Mozambique and the daughter of my friend Valarie - has posted two Blogs in two days this past week - a new record! The first discusses how jumping in and speaking the local language and not worrying about grammatical mistakes really contributed to making friends with her neighbors and colleagues in Mozambique. If she had worried about all the mistakes she was making with the language, she would have stayed a foreigner forever to them. The second post is how Mozambicans celebrate holidays and special occasions - basically the same way each time and taking 12 to 14 hours to do it. I strongly recommend to her that she delay celebrating her graduation from Gonzaga University until she gets back to Denver. In any case, be sure to check out Cheyanne's new posts at www.timeinmozambique.blogspot.com.
