Hello!!! Today was such an exciting day! I finally received my host family information! I was completely convinced that I would find out about them days before my arrival, but thankfully I got them today!!! I was sitting in the car waiting for my mom when I recieved the e-mail, and I was so excited that I ran inside leaving the car running with the passenger door open for atleast 30 minutes while I freaked out...whoops!
I will be living in San Lorenzo, Paraguay , which is a suburb of Asuncion. I am living with 3 new brothers (Cristian 28, Gilberto (Gili) 23, and Jhony 19), a mom (Dolly), dad (Silvio), dog and apparently cows sheep horses and yes you guessed it...pigs at the family farm. I immediatly friended my brothers on facebook and talked to all of them for quite a while today (in spanish too!!!) I am so excited to meet and spend a year with my new family!!! I cant even begin to explain!
I also found out what I will be doing for work. I will be working in American Corner Paraguay, which is an organization that helps children understand and learn English and things about the culture in the United States. I am so happy I will be working with children. You can click on this link to read a little more on what I will be doing for work: American Corner Paraguay.
The countdown has really started...19 more days until I say goodbye to my family and meet mi familia nueva:) I will keep my blog updated with any new exciting news!!
