su su called!!!!!

sus called me today!!!!
(well actually a couple times yesterday, but i missed the calls b/c i was working).
and i cried myself to sleep b/c i missed her so much.
so i worked all day with my phone in my pocket just in case.
i bought a calling card this morning at 4am (at work, online)
and tried to call her, but she hadnt given me all the phone number (b/c when she was leaving a message, her phone cut her off).
so i called at 4am, which was 12 noon there.
but it didnt work.
so at noon my time, she called! it didnt work the first 2 times, and i dont know why.
but on her third time calling, i got her voice, and she said to call her back.
so i did, but it was still the wrong #
she finally called me back and said, what's wrong, we compared #s, and she gave me
the last 3 digits i was missing.
i called her back and we talked 30 minutes!!!!
highlights of convo:
she loves it
their health is good
only diarrhea once
living with a host family that speaks english
family has a grandma and 5 kids, 22, 17, 8, and 2 younger ones
they are really nice
sus and chris make them popcorn every night and they love it
they made them pizza the other night and they loved it!
they saw a zebra this morning
they are living outside of Mbabane, in Piggs Peak (you can see it on google maps)
she said it's cold in the morning and night and HOT in the daytime
it's winter there
they are having classes on language in the village everyday
she loves the language but its really hard, but she's good at saying, "hi how are you"
they went to the city today and got to go to a big grocery store
she got good cheese which they havent had in awhile.
she said they didnt have cumin, so i am sending her some.
their staple foods are pretty much the same, but we didnt talk about what else they had.
everyone else is gaining weight, but she's losing it, but doesnt look bad.
she may want us to send her soy bean seeds, but isnt sure what/when
she finds out saturday where she will be placed and her job, she's excited.
the got chris a cell phone and it's super cheap, and she's getting her cell "unlocked" so she can talk internationally, and her's will have the internet. but she says she may not be able to email from it, only facebook. she will see. but i asked dad to figure out how to get her an iphone, sus said that iphones work well with email.
the country is so small she gets cell reception everywhere :).
she misses us all and loves us all.
she has been getting our letters and packages, so keep em coming.
she loves organic fair trade chocolate & nori wraps (seaweed) & dr bronners soap &
also wants pictures to be send, as they can't see them on internet (internet is sooo slow she said, at the internet cafes i guess).
so that's why they need an internet phone.
so no skype from her for now. but we can use skype or calling cards (i got mine on the internet for 14 cents a min). comfi.com or something like that.

that is all for now
