PPST

We have reached the next step in our journey and it is very exciting. The last few weeks in my own place has been amazing. I had a few road blocks when my refrigerator broke and it was 103 degrees Fahrenheit around 3am. I thought my world would soon end, but days later it began to work again. It now shuts off every other day and I enter my kitchen to find water all over my kitchen floor. I have gotten use to it. I will soon buy a new refrigerator.

I am not sure what else is going on at site. The women in my site do not yet trust me. I had a conversation where the lady informed me that she believes that I may be a spy only in their country to research their daily activities. It was discouraging in the beginning, but I am eager to prove the women wrong and go in and be the best that I can. I know it's great to be hopeful but it's difficult sometimes.

We have now been in country for nearly 5 months and it seems as though we have been here forever. We are at PPST (Post pre service training) and it is wonderful to see all the PCV's and hear about their experiences and realize that we are in this together and are experiences similar emotions. Many people have similar findings and it's interesting to know that there are many provincial differences.

We will be here for two weeks and I hope to have a breakthrough and head back to site with lot's of new ideas!
