Easter Sunday

I just got off the phone from my Easter Sunday call from home. In rapid-fire fashion I spoke to about half my extended family in 10 minutes flat. It felt like a big hug and I went to bed with a smile on my face. I am blessed to have so much support and love and interest in my life.

The Peace Corps isn’t just about me coming to a new place and transferring skills, making sustainable projects, and integrating. A huge goal is to bring your destination back to the people at home - to facilitate that cultural exchange, to be a personal contact to a world so far away. Thanks for taking interest in what I’m doing and coming along for the ride. It’s going to be a crazy one!

*For those of you who want to talk with me for hours and don’t mind paying for it, I recommend a couple different methods –
1. Skype (Google it if you don’t know about it). You will be able to buy credit and call my cell phone number.
2. There are also international phone plans that make the phone call a lot cheaper. For details on that one, ask my mom (I’m assuming you know my mom, if not, sorry!)
Remember the 6 hour time difference and the fact that I’m in class a lot – but we can email to set up a phone date.

Also feel free to send me emails. I promise your life isn’t boring! I really want to hear about it and I’ll respond at some point (fairly consistently I might add – until May).
