We just heard this morning from Ashlee and Andy. They called at 6:00 a.m. They are 8 hours earlier than we are here in Mo. They were so excited!!! They were in their village where they will be going after their 3 month language training. Ashlee told me there is a 4 room, tin roof house with a great garden alread there, that another Peace Corp couple are now living, in that they will be inheriting. They will be in the North West Providane boarding Congo and Angola and will have an address for us for there later. Their address right now is Andrew and Ashlee Fritz PCV, Peace Corps/ Zampia Box 50707, Lusaka, Zambia. This is for letters not packages so if you have a package e mail and I will give you that address. (i sent a heavy letter yesterday and it cost me $10.) We had a little trouble with contact as the number we had was not working. But the kids will have cell phone coverage but it is very expensive for them to call out but at least we can call them. They will also have internet about 15 miles from them so will beable to check it once in awhile.
Ashlee was walking to or from the garden area that she will be working with as we were speaking.(she said I am very dirty) she said she would have a 45 min walk every day to the garden. and that they were going today to see the project that Andy would be working with today as well. It was so good to hear her voice. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated and I will keep you posted as I hear.
