Great News!!!!!

We woke up today not so excited about training today. We havent got the chance to catch up on sleep quite yet, and im not sure we ever will. But we got word that we would be finding out our homestay families today, so we were living off adrenaline.

Today at training we got to learn about all the diseases we could get, and literally got sex ed training like we were in 7th grade all over again. It was quite humorous to hear the lady say "hanky panky".

But the great news i have been dying to tell you all is that we found out our homestay families at the end of training session today. It was GREAT news to hear after a longggg day of training. I will be in the capital of St.George's for the next 7 weeks staying with a family. Then i will move on to St.Paul and will be working at the YWCA, the same thing as the YMCA in the states. I will be starting an after school program and working with kids to establish team sports teams. IM ESTATIC!!!!!!!

I can not wait to start this journey and share it with all of you, but for now its chow time. AKA...rice and beans!!! haha

Always serving,
Mackenzie Garst
