Moving...

Well, it has been quite crazy the last few days. I had a really rough night on Sunday and spent the night at Florencia´s house. She is the director/our surrogate mother while we are here. She was very nice and her house was amazing. She mentioned to me that a change of housing, to one with more people, might help. We decided to hold off on the dicision and have coffee later in the week. I spent the next night at Ashley´s place, another girl in the program, and we went downtown to shop and explore for a little while the next day. Last night I spent the night back here at Rossana´s and watched TV for the first time. I discovered that there are like 10 channels in English with Spanish subtitles, it is so great! I can understand what is going on, YAY!

Today I finally did my laundry. It is so strange not having a dryer, my clothes aren´t warm and soft when I get them but cold and stiff. Oh well, I will get used to it. I also went out to coffee with Florencia and we talked about the possible move. We both decided that it would probably be the best thing for me right now and she gave me a few options to choose from. The first, whom she called today at lunch, is the family of her daughter´s boyfriend. A mom and dad who are both fairly busy with work, a son about 17 who knows a bit of English, and another son about 8 who is apparently very hyper and a bit of a brat. She said she thinks we would be good companions for each other because we would keep each other busy, haha. That is the family I am hoping to be with. The second is a family with a single mother, a son about my age who studies in Santiago and is home on some weekends, and two daughters a little younger than me. We got to drive by both of the houses on the way home, and they are really big compared to the one I am in now so it will be a big change. Who knows what will happen, but pray that God puts me where I need to be.

I have absolutely no idea what I will do for the rest of the week, but I´m sure I will find something to keep me busy. I will continue to keep you updated on my move. Love you all.



Amor siempre,
