In La Paz at Pizza Hut

Hello to all! Wow it has been a long time since ive been able to update my blog! Sorry for the long period of silence! Okay so update: im now living in La Paz, honduras which is about 2 hours west of Tegucigalpa the capital. I live with a very nnice family that I get along with swimmingly. Its hotter then heck out here (coming from a Washington winter thats no suprise) at about mid 90's every day and it DOES NOT RAIN! Rainy season starts in mid may which im super excited for. I'm learning a lot of Spanish and learning a lot about how to give health talks (charlas in spanish) to kids, adults and community leaders. Ive also started working with a group of orphans a couple times a week as they have been kicked out of their orphanage by the local government (their building is now going to a museum of Peace oddly enough) and so we are helping build their own orphanage of sorts. I find out my offial site on May 4th and then head back to Zarabanda training center on may 9th and then swear in as a volunteer and head to my offical site on may15th which is going to be a great day! All is well and ive been having a great experience and making some life-long friends. Im proud to say that the Northwest is well represeented here in my health group... there's a fellow seattlelite and a girl from Eugene whom ive gotten to become great friends with. Keep in touch and keep checking my blog whwn you have a chance... photos coming soon....
