hello family and friends!
So alot has happened in the last few days and I am exhausted from it! Due to a saftey issue (everyone is ok!) We got evacuated from our training site in Ras Lma. It was a really long day and it was terribly sad because we only had an hour to pack and say goodbye to our host families. My family took it very hard and we all cried like babies. However, I think the PC made the right descion to pull us out and we are welcome to visit any day so I will be planning a future trip to see my family. So for now my training group is in Fez, having our daily language classes and just doing some independent study.

On sunday all the other volunteers will return and I am so excited to hear about everyone elses experiences. Then on wednesday (halloween) we will find out our sites! YIKES! On the questionaire we had to fill out to give them an idea of what we want, I only requested a few things. I asked for a site with internet access near by, electricity and LOTS of work as I am not good at being bored. Also I asked for a site with a Neddi Neswi which is like a Dar chebab but only for woman. In smaller towns woman rarely leave the house and this is one of the few places where they go to relax, acquire new skills and talk with other women. I REALLY hope i get to work with one of these but time will tell.

Anyway THANK YOU so much to those of you whom have sent packages! This week I got 3! The magizines are great!

I hope everyone has a GREAT halloween...eat some candy for me! I promise this week I will write a blog worth reading lol!
