I asked Ben if this was what he thought it would be, Is it more or less, how does he feel? and of course all the other motherly questions, are you getting enough to eat, are you happy etc. you know the drill, as a Mom this is hard, and in the e-mail below I can hear weariness in his voice, it is hard to hear his questions and not be able to see him, hug him, reassure him,I have always in his entire life been able to touch him and now I can not I can only listen....

Its all real. Its all strangely familiar. It all is as it is, and that's what has perplexed me for the last couple days. Hopefully I can blog about it later, but here is the problem I am facing. These people seem happy, the kids are content, and who am I to judge what kind of life they should lead? Why is it important for them to learn English, and is my week of teaching going to make a difference in their abilities? What am I doing here? The answer will come in time, but I am too busy and have to go.
Know that I am fine, and that everything is good. The money situation is absolutely fine. A. I haven't been spending any money, and B. Rick is going to give me some of my funds whenever we meet, which will be infrequent and brief. I talk to him on the phone whenever I can, but I am unable to contact him, he has to call me.
All is well, i hope the same is for you,
Ben
love you
