I love it! I will be living in a very happening area of Asuncion, with plenty of markets, restaurants, stores, etc. I think many of my fellow Peace Corps friends here might be jealous of my “chuchi” (fancy in Paraguayan Spanish) site :). My new host family is great! I will be living with the president of the co-op where I will work, and her daughter that is 32 years old. I even have wireless internet at my new place, so feel free to Skype me! The co-op is walking distance from where I live, very convenient! I visited to the co-op yesterday and today to meet the main person I will be working with and the rest of the team. Everyone is really friendly! Yesterday I also visited a partner co-op, which worked closely with Peace Corps in the past. Peace Corps helped construct the building, and organized the procedures for accounting and finance for that co-op… pretty cool! My host mom has been cooking all afternoon for a big birthday party, so I’m looking forward to attending that tonight!
I will be in Asuncion until Wednesday, then back with my other host family until I officially complete training on Aug 10th.

Your posting sounds fantastic. I am so pleased. You really did great getting this position. I know you will be a tremendous asset to hte Peace Corps. Dale Clements wanted me to be sure to tell you hello. We saw his family at Uncle Jack’s 100th birthday party. Austin and Adin Cements as well as Dale envied your efforts in South America. They had a gleam in their eyes of the life you must be living. Love, DAD
Hi Dad. Wow, I can’t believe Uncle Jack is 100! Yes, I’m also very happy about my site placement here in Asuncion, and my projects. My Spanish is definitely improving, but I am surprised with how much Guarani I hear at the office as well! If you figure out how to get Skype, I can chat with you on video. I talked to Honey and Coach today!
Thanks for the message Honey! So glad we finally got to Skype today! Hope you have a fun trip to California.
