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.

My Dear Sister, I am gad to hear that the traing was very informative. I am anxious too to know where you will be living for the next 2 years. And what kind of conditions you will be in. Just stay safe. I know the PC will not send you into any dangerous. When you have your site please post pictures of it so we know where you will be living. I love you will all my heart and think of you daily. I find myself checking your blog often to see if you have updated. It is saved in my favorites. Take care, Your Sister
