Loving Life

Hey All!

It's been a while since my last update, so here I am! First and foremost I'd like to say that I'm extremely excited about going home to Chicago for Christmas. I can't wait to spend some time with my Mom and my crazy sisters. Hopefully I can catch up with some friends, but vamos a ver que pasa.

As very few of you know, I applied for a VAST grant to do an HIV workshop in my community and I got it!! So the day before Thanksgiving I will be having an 8-hour workshop in my pueblo to train community leaders on HIV awareness and prevention. I'm really excited about it...but also a little bit stressed out. I've never planned anything like this before and I just hope that things go well. Also, my committee members have been showing up to the meetings that I've been holding. I just hope that this will continue because it'd make things a lot less stressful if my commuunity could actually get organized...primero Dios verdad?

Recently I've been in great spirits! I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my chest and now I can breathe a little bit easier. It seems like certain things that I was afligida over are now falling into place quite nicely. I feel stronger today than I did last month, hell even last week.

My God is good and He has given me the strength to leave behind the things that are not good for me. What a wonderful God I serve.

I'm loving life! I love my job! I think that I might just extend my service in 2012.

Love you all,
Salú
