Dont really have much time to post, but I showered with a bucket of water this morning. It was awesome. Other than that everything is pretty intense here. Classes are from 7:30 to 5 and dinner starts at 6:30, so there isn´t a lot of time for emailing. I´m still pretty homesick and am hoping it passes soon. In about 3 weeks we are moving to field training for 6 weeks where things are expected to get rougher. Right now my house is prettyy great. Its one women with her 5 grandchildre, 2 of which live with her. The house is small but warm. My host mom has had several volunteers in the past and knows how things work. For that I am greatful. As for the restrooms...it really is outhouse next to a the showering shack. On the brightside, the bucket of water I bathed with was warm, yay. All in all Im doing ok I think. I found myself down in the dumps last night, but tonight is better. People are waiting for the computer so gotta go. I love you all

I stopped by TM and was told tat your phone is still on voice. The switch to e-mail only has not been made. You still have text. Just remember that it is 0.35 for each text message you send and 0.15 that we send you. Make it a long one when you send one. You are very lucky that your host family has experience and is proven hosting PCV. Love you. Dad
Joel-
Sorry about the shower, but at least it was warm water... I guess that's the most important part, right?
Good luck over the next few weeks when it gets "rougher". I am sure you'll be a champ.
Love-

Glad to see you arrived safely in Honduras. We miss you here in Boston. I can't wait to hear about your adventures in PC!
ahhh bucket baths.... they are great as long as there isn't a cold breeze on you inbetween the bowl fulls of water you drop on yourself. Glad to hear you've made it there safely. Can't wait to hear about your adventures!
