Moving on
Yesterday we had a very small swearing in and memorial service here at the Peace Corps office. It was a bitter sweat ceremony and Wyatt's presence was missed. He was sworn in as an honorary volunteer and his parents sent a letter that was read during his rememberance ceremony. They said in the letter that they got to talk to Wyatt for an hour the day before he died and received a 14 page letter from him the day after he died. He told them that he was happier than he had ever been in his life and he was very excited to start his service. I will be leaving Lusaka on Friday and being posted at my village on Sunday.

Thanks for keeping us posted! We all love you!!!
Congratulations on becoming an official Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV)! I am so proud of you, so excited for you and can't wait to hear reports from your post!
Weiner,
Good to hear that you guys are all heading back into the bush to do good service. It sounds like your mission has been inspired by Wyatt and the example he set. No doubt, your work will do him honor.
And by the way, I am not sure that Peace Corps sets a good example by "swearing" so much. I was always told that swearing was wrong. Maybe next year, instead of swearing in the Corps members, you could recommend a nice reception or something.
Stay Health,

Congrads on passing all the tests. I just started reading your stories today and they are really interesting. Perhaps you should write a book. All right later,
