Greetings! I am happy to report that I successfully completed my first week of Pre-service training (PST) here in Dubreka. Learning French has been a challenge but it as also been fun talking with my host family in French. Speaking of my host family, they're awesome! They make me excellent dinners and my brothers love to help me with my French. My host father is a judge in the city of Dubreka and my host mother is a teacher at the local school. The internet here is very slow and only comes on every couple days so I'm going to keep this post brief. Here are the highlights from the last week: It rains a lot but not constantly. Buying food at the market is fun. I'm going to have clotes custom made. The countryside is very beautiful. Learning to teach math in French is very challenging. I'll find out where in the country I'll be next Friday (7/27). We biked to a waterfall last weekend and it was awesome! Also, I played the drums with a Guinean band! See you in two weeks! - Ben
