Honuras Final

I finally arrived in honduras! it is an amazing country extremely beautiful with amazing people. we are now doing field based training in a small town called la cuesta. It is semi rural but we are having a great time. we are learnign different technical and administrative skills that we will be implimenting during our service as well as learning spanish. i live on top of a hill in a magnificent house with a giant flat screen tv. my friends call me the princess. we are a really close group which has made everything so much easier. the other day we got caught in a huge storm during a hike but no one complained and we all throughly enjoyed it. The political sitution still continue sbut there are few direct effects. I am tying to fit into the cultures as much as possible and my spanish is improving, i have also started to try and grow a mustache (when in rome) but it is not going so well. but i do have two whole years to work on it. in the upcoming weeks we will be working with farmers and learning how to build stoves among other things so i am extremely excited because everything is hands on and aplicable to what we may be doing in the future. I also got a phone and the number from the us is 011 504 9750 5493 and you can go to the tigo website (in spanish) and send free text messages from there for free. missing you all and hope everything is going well
