So basically we had model school during these last two weeks which was awesome because we got to teach kids and make our lesson plans to practice. My first lesson was a struggle because I was teaching in Portuguese and my Portuguese was awful. Then the last two went so much better. After that we had a thanksgiving dinner that came out perfect. I couldn't be happier to spend time with the people that are my family now. Then we had our farewell party with our host families, which was a blast! Saying goodbye to my host family was actually really sad but I am glad I have a family that I can call and visit when I want to get out of site. I gave them goodbye gifts which were beautiful capulana's and they were so happy, even my mom cried a little bit.
Anyways, Crazy that training flew by quickly but sad that I won't be close to the people I became close friends with Except I was ready for site and excited to begin my life in Vanduzi Manica. I am in the central region of Mozambique. I arrived yesterday and it's been amazing. Everyone in the town are so friendly and as well as our neighbors. The area is beautiful. I also got an amazing dog named amendoim which means peanut. He is too cute and I have an awesome roommate. I am pretty happy with my site actually. I finally unpacked and got my room together, I even made a closet so I could hang my clothes (I am pretty proud of it). Other than that my life has been the same but now I finally get to integrate with my community and begin teaching in February. Also I finally get to live on my own and have my own room, no more living out of my suitcase. Being at a new site, maybe i will have more time to update my blog. We will see!
