Where am I?
The information in this short update
is, I promise, more of a surprise to me than it is to you. I still can’t
believe it happened… but here goes!… I am writing this entry from Loja,Ecuador,
in South America. What’s that? Did I type that right? Am I sure? Heck yes I
am!!!
Here I am! |
I’ve been offered the opportunity of
a lifetime for a new Peace Corps initiative in Ecuador. I applied, and got
approved for a transfer. I will now be living here until at least April 2014. I
did almost a year and a half in Uganda, and will be doing another year and a
half in Ecuador. It’s a gigantic change, to which I’m still adjusting, but it
feels right and I’ve yet to have a single doubt about changing countries. I’m
very grateful for my time in Uganda. Grateful for how I grew, learned to
appreciate life, learned just how much I love my family (and how much they love
me), and learned to survive. Above all, I’m grateful for the people I met
along the way, especially the other Peace Corps Volunteers. I can’t wait until
they start to end their service and come visit me here. I miss you guys every
day.

On the note of transferring, I’m
beginning to write entries for here, but first I have two more important
entries I want to write for Uganda. While I enjoy being able to fill in
everyone on my life adventures, these entries also serve to help me record
stories I never want to forget. SO: two more Uganda entries, then an
around-the-world switch! Enjoy! Oh and if you thought my language was bad
before… Just wait until you see the downhill affect of throwing yourself into
learning Spanish. Dios Mio!
