This past week has been filled with exciting news of all kinds!
I recieved my site placement last Friday and met my site contact on Tuesday. I just recieved pictures of Ann Clover´s new baby= also exciting! One of my favorite cousins is getting married on Saturday. And Fran is turning a year younger on Saturday! There was a terrible bridge accident in Mpls. I just got to Skype w/ camera and talk to Claire in Chicago! And I LOVE HORQUETA! Hoga, ducle hoga! (Home sweet home!)
While most of the news is quite possitive - it is unfortunate that when I introduce myself now people know where Minneapolis is because of the bridge. I would rather be from an unknown location that people think is always cold!
My site contact, Isidora Ruiz is AMAZING! She is 33 lives with 2 other ladies, isnt married and doesnt think I need to be! She is super guapa (hard working) and is way excited to have me. She is introducing me to everyone. She tells everyone i want to work and speak great spanish - which is exciting! I met her at the muni this morning and there was this meeting with an NGO called GTZ from Germany that works in PY. They come once a month and do a review of what every department is working on so that everyone is on the same page. It was the luckiest introduction to my city! it was amazing! And there is lots of action at my muni! The family i am staying with is super wonderful.
Life is amazing!
Many paraguayan hugs!
