So many emotions...

so i forgot my camera and or jump drive again today, so i have no new pictures... but we´ve been back in guasu cora for about a week now after visiting our sites. training has really flown by and now i´m feeling the brunt of it. and i´m getting a little stressed. i took on a really big project of making going away presents for all my friends and its definitely taking me a lot longer than i planned on. ohhh well these are the things i like to do! and i´m trying to teach the end of our coreographed dance we´re performing for the talent show in less than a week and i haven´t even taught the end of the last dance yet. but i know it will be awesome, i´m really excited about it! other than that i´m just getting really sad to leave my family here, i feel so comfortable in my community and with my family. i can sit down and have like two hour conversations with my mom about anything, its amazing! and my brother- i just love him more and more every day! he gives me big hugs and cow kisses all the time (just like aiden!) but i told my mom yesterday i´m going to come back for his 1st birthday in a month!

last night we had a cultural exchange with the local kids. it was a lot of fun, however we were a little cramped for space because it started raining and we were forced to sit under this little overhang area. our group did the cha cha slide, my friend steph sang two songs, and my friends: andy, nicole, liza and i did a country line dance that i taught them! we all wore jeans and bandanas... it was pretty fantastic! ha! especially considering we threw it together in a day! i´m pretty good at what i do!

this week should be a lot of fun though... we have a party tomorrow at liza´s house with all our families. we have a party on tuesday afternoon with our language teachers and our families. we have our dance talent show presentation on thursday morning and that night we have another going away party at nicoles house! then we go to asuncion the next day for swearing in and we´re staying for two nights to hang out and celebrate, then we´re all off to our sites!

so all in all, i´m sad to leave but really excited to feel this comfortable in my new site and all the friendships i have to look forward to building over the next two years! ohhh and really excited to get my cell phone, i feel so lost without one! should be fantastic and i will keep you all updated. hopefully i´ll have time to put some pictures up next weekend! love and miss you all!
