Tomorrow morning we will be leaving Darkhan for Sukhbaatar to live with our host families for the next eleven weeks. As far as the language goes, we haven’t learn more than basic survival phrases, but I think those will get us through the next few days with our families. What I know about my family so far is that my dad is a repairman, my mom is a chef, my brother is 19 and in school in the capital and my sister is in 7th grade. It seems like they matched me up with a family similar to my own. We’ll see what that’s like! I might need to ask Eli for advice about how to talk with 7th grade girls.
