I LOVE GETTING PACKAGES!!!!
Absolutly makes my day. I got my first package from my mommy and it was great. It took a month to get here but it was well worth it (Vale la pena). I LOVE YOU MOM. thanks! Hope i get more mail too. Also got a post card from Kathy in Italy... that was fun too. And I am being sent election mail because I applied for an absentee ballot-- i will vote for anyone who campaigns all the way here in Honduras!

Also went swimming in a nice pool in Comayagua with Linda and the other Melons ( people living here in Yarumela with me). It was heaven-- didn't feel like I was in honduras or was in the peace corps.

I love you all so much.. wish me well.. i am getting nervous about sites.

PS-- Hondurans love to thanks god-- ALOT. it gets kinda over the top but i love it. when ever they start a story or make plans they say things like " 1st i have to thank god or god willing" and then they continue on blessing people and thanking god 5 more times before they actaully begin answering the question or telling their story. They have alot of faith and are very religious... at least that is how the mid-wives are.

Almost done with FBT

I can´t believe that in about 2 weeks that FBT will be over and I will know my site. They will be announcing the sites on the 21st so keep your eyes peeled for the info. I am excited and nervous because this determines where I will be going for the next 2 yrs. I have really been enjoying training so far... it has been really informative.
Yesterday we had a session where we talked to sex workers. It was very interesting to hear what they had to say about their jobs and what they thought of the americans here on the army base in comayagua. Many of them have some kids fathered by americans because the guys refused to wear condoms or took it off in the middle of having sex. I had never talked to any commercial sex workers before.. they are very blunt and funny. They definitly aren´t embarassed to tell their stories and I am glad we had this experience to hear it straight from their mouths.

I´ll keep yáll posted as to any new info I have as far as sites go.
