The long wait is finally OVER! Tuesday May 5 I finally found out I will be going to:
Estero Hondo in Puerto Plata
to serve in the Peace Corps from May 13th 2009 to May 13th 2011.
I just got back from my site visit. Basically I got to know my project partner, see where the town is and how to get there, drop half of my stuff there (that way I don’t have to carry everything in one trip), and start building confianza.
Confianza – Confianza directly means confidence in Spanish, but here it means a whole lot more. It is like respectable, serious, good person, etc. rolled into one. If you don’t have confianza in your site you don’t have anything.
I have final tests on Monday, workshops on Tuesday, then Wednesday, May 13th is the big day of Swearing-In as a Peace Corps Volunteer!!!
"The strong and courageous...The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you or forsake you." -Deut. 31:7-8
