Finally an exciting day to chat about. Got my training town assignnment, where I'll be living for the next three months. Jinotepe, or Hee-no-teh-pay. It's close to Managua, a little southeast of there. Language classes four days a week for four hours, then using the language so that we can create lessons, surveys, and interviews in Spanish. I'll have to present charlas or mini-lessons to some youth groups in the community.
Also got a picture of my host family today. I have a mom, dad, brother(24), and sister(20). AND A DOG NAMED SHAKIRA!! I am so excited I'll have a dog. Probably some of the most exciting news of the day. Tomorrow will be my first night with them... Que emocionado!
I'm so glad that you are there and safe and that things are looking like they are going to be awesome! I miss you times a thousand. Watching himym is WAY less fun when you aren't there.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about all your adventures!

Hi Jen!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear about your new home. I'm glad you will have a dog there (what kind?). Sounds like you will be very busy. I bet your Spanish has already improved immensely. Today is your sis' big 21 bday!
Keep us posted on all of your activities.
We love and miss you so much,
Mom
