Hey all...just wanted to let you know today is my last day of training. Tomorrow we have our swearing in at the embassy and then we will be official volunteers complete with debit cards...whoohooo! Don´t worry I won´t spend it all in one place. We are going to hang out in Asuncion and then it´s off to our sites. I´m excited to be in a pueblo where there is a mercado so I can buy all my fruits and veggies...yes surprise surprise...I eat lots of veggies now. Mom and Dad would be proud.
I know I´ve been slacking on the photos lately. My education group and I are doing a pic exchange tomorrow night IN OUR HOTEL ROOM. Complete with running water, shower, and A.C. Que suerte! Yesterday was our despedida (goodbye party) with our familes at our training center. This afternoon we have a talent show...we are doing a song medley...dancing...singing...the works. We even got our trainers to get in it with us. You all are missing a great show. I´ll try to get someone to snap some pics and send them your way once I´m in my site!
