training site!

So the day has come... we are about to move to our training site. I am moving to Prey Chor. and that's about all I know about it. they weren't able to tell me anything about my family, but Im taking this as a good thing because I cant be disappointed if i dont know what to expect!

Not sure when the next post will be... but keep sending good thoughts :)

Missing everyone at home, and I am a little jealous of everyone at home with their toilette paper!
peace, love, and lollipops!

Cambodia!

So quick update... I am in Phenom Penh tonight but we are leaving tomorrow for champong chang (thats not how u spell it, but i have no clue how too!) We got to walk around the city today, and it was beautiful. there is soo much to look at it's a little over-stimulating. We went to a market (where i got a coconut that they cut open and u stick a straw in it and drink... it was good, but not as sweet as i was thinking it would be), then we went to a wat (temple) where there we monkeys walking around and lots of cats. One cat hid under my skirt for about 5 minutes, it was cute but the whole time i was thinking "please don't bite me!"

Lots more to say, but I'm pooped and its another early morning tomorrow. Love you!

12 days to go!

It is getting down to crunch time... only 12 days left until I go to staging.

Very early on the 19th I fly to San Francisco, where we have staging and I get to meet everyone! Then on Tuesday we all fly to Hong Kong. Which will effectively be the longest flight I have ever been on! But I am hoping that it will be a chance to get to know other volunteers, which will make the 13 hours and 45 minutes go by a little faster. Then it's a hour flight to Cambodia!

It's getting so close to my departure date that I have already had my send-off party! On Saturday the 3rd, my family and friends all got together for a "Cambodia Party". It was great to see everyone, and it made me feel very loved because of how supportive everyone was. I even had two (that's right, TWO!) America cakes! Both were very good, and I had multiple pieces of :)
