So, the government of Turkmenistan apparently didn't want our group so we got sent back home. Now, it appears that Kimberly and I will be joining the group going to Ethiopia. Unfortunately, they leave today for staging and we won't be joining them until about a week from now. All the paperwork that we filled out for Turkmenistan must be filled out all over again for Ethiopia, including the Visa application. So, that's why our departure is being delayed. Hopefully we won't be too far behind the rest of the group in the learning process.
On the positive, we knew about Turkmenistan for about 7 months and never really got too excited about it. We have known about Ethiopia for 4 days now and are really, really looking forward to going there. Africa is where Kimberly originally wanted to go when we signed up for the Peace Corp anyway, so we feel like things are really being corrected here.
Ethiopia here we come!
