I was able to experience my first tropical storm last week Saturday. It rained pretty for around 20 hours. We lost power for a couple days and didn´t have water for a few days and had to carry it from a nearby source. We were supposed to attend a Mayan ceremony but that got cancled because of the excessive rain, so we had three days of rest because Monday´s activities were also cancled. I got in some good quality time with my host family especially my two host brothers who are 8 and 11.
I have sucessfuly made it to the spanish level required but the Peace Corps to be sworn in as a Volunteer but I still have a long ways to go. It´s a good feeling to have that down but I still wish I could be a lot further along. As they say here I will get there "poco a poco" or little by little.
We are heading out on Field Based Training which entails a group of 6 or so training working at a current volunteers site. We will be putting into practice a lot of the technical skills we have been learning for the past month. I am excited to get to the point of working hands on doing things that I could potentially be doing at my site.
