Shit, Who am I?

Sooooo much has happened and I have been horrible at capturing it through my blog. Sorry, Megan..my loyal reader. I heart you.

Anyways, so I´ve been to other departments in Peru and it has been amazing.

Where to start?
For my FBT (field based training) I visited Ancash, home of the glacier mountains, and Cajamarca, home of the cows on mountains. haha. Well, it has been stressful and amazing sometimes at the same time. We did things like build cocinas mejoradas (bettered kitchens since people in the mountains cook with firedwood), latrines, talked with youth groups, talked with teachers about HIV-AIDS...you know wonderful health stuff!!!!!!!!!!

As far as how I´m feeling...
I´m doing super duper better...well, in comparison to how I felt just last week. Training ended last week and I was a wreck. I fell in love with so many people here...it was an awesome time while we were all together BUT there are many more to come and I know it. So what we are all in different departments of Peru and some of us don´t have cell phone reception (I do!!)...I know ít´ll happen. Besides all this emotional craziness, things are steady now.

Where am I?
I am finally at the place I will have to call home for 2 years. It´s a small little village just outside of Chota in Cajamarca, LOOK IT UP!!!!!! It is mountaineous indeed...my house is a 30 min hike up from a main ¨road¨. It´s beautiful tho and I have a baby host bro and a 3 year old host bro...in case you forgot, I love monsters. It´s going to be a while until I feel super comfortable here but I know it´s possible and I don´t feel bad so that´s good at least.

So, this is a short short version of how things are going but I wanted to at least do this. This blog was my idea and I will be keeping it updated now that I am once again settled. I just want to say that I miss a lot of things but that only makes me more grateful. Please continue to keep me updated with your lives.

Lots of love and kisses. MMM...haha.

p.s. Who am I? was the response I had for when I found where I was going....I had absolutely no idea and I was completely disoriented to the point where I didn´t even know who I was...lol.
