Tomorrow, tomorrow...

Yes, we become, I can't believe it really, Peace Corps Volunteers tomorrow! The ceremony will be at 3 pm and we all can't wait. It's hard to believe we've finished 10 weeks of training already. It seemed like such a long time at the beginning. Now we are all off to new sites around this little island.

We're going to miss our host family, as our most of the other trainees here. We really got close to them in these last two months. The pictures below kind of show it.

The first is Paulina, the third oldest in the family. She was always happy and laughed alot, the way 14-year-olds giggle at everything. The second is Juliaun Mateus (no, I don't know how to spell it), and yes, he is that cute. He lived next door. The third is a family picture that we got on the next to last day with them. We could never get all 10 of them together. The fourth is the kids playing Ultimate Frisbee at the school. I taught them how to play in my broken Tetun and even translated the 10 rules of Ultimate into Tetun and gave them copies. I'm sure I'm the first to do that. I'm trying to get frisbees to them but they don't sell good frisbees in Timor. Go figure. The last is from Family Day, last Friday. It's a three-legged race. It was a really fun day with American and Timorese food, dancing (Bekah even dance-partied and the neighborhood is probably still talking about it), and a volleyball game.

On Saturday we had a Health Fair put on by the Health Promotion Volunteers. It was really good. The whole village came and learned so much from the booths and games they made. Bekah did one with a spin-the-wheel that taught the kids about eating well before school. There was also a volleyball tournament and an exhibition Ultimate Frisbee match for all to see.

I will write more tomorrow. So, see you then.
