Hey team, I've been asked for updates. Poftim (here you go, take this, what, over here, excuse me, etc).
It is hot, hot, hot in Moldova. Around 90 or 100 degrees (F) every day. I never wore dresses in the states, but I am here. And skirts. I think this is the real reason why so many women here wear dresses, because it is way to hot for pants in the summer.
It was my host sister's 21st birthday last night and I sent to her "masa" which is like a party/meal. I had a shot of homemade whiskey which burned and listened to them talk in Romanian all night. I gave her some bracelets that I brought with me from the States.
I got to visit my permanent site a few weeks ago. The host family there has had two volunteers before that stayed with them for the full two years. I believe this to be a good sign.
Lunch is over and I have to go now. Love y'all.

Sad news. My host family's internet has died. So no more pictures or videos until I get a reliable source back that I can connect my computer to.
Other than that, doing good. I've found out my permanant site, it'll be in the north. The family has had two volunteers before that both lived with them the whole time. I think that's a good sign. They also have an indoor bathroom, which makes me really happy. I'll get to visit them this weekend. I'll report back to y'all about that after the visit.
If you want to send me a care package, email me and I'll sent you my mailing address (if I know you). My email is leonejm@broadstripe.net
Later!

Happy Independence Day!
Sorry for the lack of updates lately, we've been having troubles with our internet at my host family's house. But the good news is that we find out our permanant sites in two days, at which time I'll find out if a wireless USB will work in the village I'm assingned to. If so I plan on buying one, so no more worries. I have to run now, I'm at the village's internet cafe and can't stay long. As soon as my host family's internet is working again I'll update with pictures of the monestaries we visited yesterday.
Happy Independence Day!
