Well I made it to my home for the next two years. It is not what I expected, but to be fair none of my journey has been what I expected so far. I moved my first day here to a place closer to my foundation, and it is nice, like really nice. I am the first person to live here, which means it is clean and empty. The empty part is hard, but my new community has come together and I now have couches and a Fridge. I had to buy plates, silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, ect. I am still collecting what I need but it will do for now.

I won't start working until September. So for now I am trying to get the house in order and start on some lesson plans. New Amsterdam is pretty different from where we were training. It is more of a country town feel. There are 5 other volunteers in the area, so that makes it less lonely. And as a bonus it is windy here, which cuts down on the stifling heat!

The other difference is that we have a Churches Chicken! We have been far too much!
Oh and we flood like crazy! My house is currently surrounded by water that even has fish in it. So that's been fun!
Well there is not much else to update you all on so I will leave you with a picture of me drinking from a bag, because that is how you do it here...
