Ok so today I finished my 3rd day of training. It is going really well. Yesterday we had health talks and it was pretty boring. At night Erin, James, Joe, Sash, Ally, Mike and I hung out in our room. My feelings about this are only getting better. I adore everyone of the volunteers, they are all such magnificent people. I really didn’t expect to be hanging out with them so soon. James is really cool and we relate a lot being from the LBC and all. I am so amazed that EVERYONE gets along so well. In a group of 34 that is pretty amazing.
Today I had my first Tetun lesson. I was so aggravated but at the same time I know it will come. After training was over today James, Erin, Chris, and I went with Linda to Dili. We had her take us to by cell phones-they were $100 with the sim card. She was so nice. She took us to a bakery and all around town. She paid for the food and our sim cards but we paid her back. She really showed us the giving nature of the Timorese. I text messaged mom with my number and I can’t wait for her to call.
Dili is interesting, so many of the buildings are still in ruins. It is crowded but not that gross feeling. People are just trying to make it is the feeling I get.
