I am not coming home until I feel that there’s a real reason to leave El Sal (i.e. natural disaster, sick family member). I know that I scare some people when I update my status on Facebook, but I assure you guys that I am fine. Instead of telling me to come home, SUPPORT ME!!Yes, I have very bad days, but I also have really good days. I’ve been tested both physically and mentally and there were PLENTY of times when I wanted to throw in the towel, but then I have to remember that I prayed for this. I asked to be tested. I asked to be here (well maybe not in this particular country, but you get the point). It would be easy to say, “I can’t live like this. I miss my family. I’m going home”, but I know that there’s a reason that I am here. I’m not a quitter and I won’t give up without a fight. But if I see another rat anywhere near my suitcase…I’ll be on the first flight home! Hahaha…just kidding…I think.
Love you all,
Salu (this is the Salvo way of saying goodbye)
p.s. My Daddy is the best man in this world! I'll be asking him to run a background check on my future boyfriend ;-)

Usually Peace Corps members end up marrying other Peace Corps members. . . So maybe you just might be in luck and the Peace Corps already filtered out the worthless ones (with their extensive background investigations and medical exams) . . .
ReplyDeleteLOL...oh Yana! Unfortunately, PCV's here usually marry the locals (I won't be one of those) and I?m sure Washington doesn't do a background check on them...but I'd, personally, be more interested in the medical exams.
