Miss you Steve, I'm so glad you made it to Africa and are enjoying yourself so far. I miss you already back here in Seattle--promise not to forget us! I have to say that you are missing some fairly nice weather here, but I'm sure you've got much of the same there. Make sure you keep your blog updated so I can see what you're up to!
Good Luck Good luck with everything! I hope you have a great time. Will you be able to watch the World Cup game tomorrow? It should be on around 1 pm Togo time. Keep in touch.
Spelling My wife says that when you get back you can teach me how to spell and how to write correct sentences.
Anyhow, I think you got the jist of things so good luck and we will be thinking of you when we are at the beach.
Waiting for you in Dakar! Bonjour Steve!!!
Ca Va? Je pense a toi mon amie! I hope that you are enjoying your stay in Togo! I am in D.C. at the GAO, but will leave for Dakar in September! Don't forget, you owe me a visit so we can kick it in Senegal!
Later!
Ton Amie!

Good Luck Good luck Steve. You have made all of proud. If I were 30 years younger I would be going along with you..to carry the water, air conditioner, video games..ha. ha. Anyhow, we will keep you in our prayers and will keep in touch with you on this truly great experience where you are making a difference. Most of us wish we would have chosen such a path.
God bless and keep in toch with us. I look forward to getting educated and will keep the students at Tech informed on whatever you can provide.

Baie lekkere groeten uit Ierland Hi Stevo!!
I've been thinking about you all weekend long while I was in Belgium with my family... thinking I could've been at your party.
I'm really sad I missed it and I really would've come all the way from Europe but the flights looked so bad.. I would've been too late anyway.
We don't actually fly to Africa but it would be very nice to come and see you overthere so... who knows! Or like you said, maybe next year February a reunion in South Africa...
I just want to wish you ALL THE BEST - good luck with your project work, I'm sure everyone is very proud of you. It takes a lot of courage and commitment to go and live abroad for such a long period.
Europe says hi and hope to meet you one day again.
I'm anxious to read all your exciting stories...
Enjoy it - but be careful out there,
lots of love,
Val
hurrah!!! steve...i would give anything to be in your shoes right now. you have an opportunity to experience one of the most amazing journeys in a person's lifetime. i, for one, am jealous of the uncomplicated lifestyle that you will be accustomed to while you are down there, something i've wanted and have been missing these days. i am sure that the experience will be worthwhile and triumphant for you because i know that you have the qualities that will enable you to get there, passion and great wits.
anyway, i was rummaging through missionary work in the medical field while i was at work yesterday and found this somewhat sad story.....here's the link (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/263742_drroot21.html).
thanks to your inluence, i've been seriously considering missionary work in my profession lately....i think your blog will keep me interested
good luck and may the force be with you....lol
Best of luck to you. This sounds an extraordinary adventure and I am sure you will excel in it. Although I have known you for a short period of time but you managed to leave a great impression on how amazing you are. I will keep lobbying for opportunities for you in Jordan. Stay in touch.
Meilleurs Voeux! Steve, I wish you all the best for your first few days/weeks/months as you get through training and to your village. Say hi to the trainers and main office staff from me if you get a chance, please. You'll do really well with everything, and I know you'll do a great job as a PCV!

Few more weeks to go, before you finally go the beautiful continent where we've met. I wish you all the best in Togo!!
big hug and greetings all the way from the Netherlands
