After a July whirlwind of helping four dear friends and cousins get married, I am about to embark on my own long-awaited adventure. Tomorrow morning, at approximately 4:15 a.m. (in precisely 8 hours and 59 minutes), I will leave the Mennonite Central Committee Welcoming Place where I have been undergoing orientation for the past week with 50 other North Americans and 50 international young adults. Thanks to my new-found Colombian, Bolivian, Argentinian, Nicaraguan, Paraguayan, and Honduran friends, I have had many hours of lively Spanish conversation to get my mind thinking again in espanol. I am rip, roarin', and rarin' to go!
When I arrive in Bolivia, I will have about six weeks in the large city of Santa Cruz for language and music study before moving to the small town of Santiago de Chiquitos where I will [hopefully] help organize a music program and direct rehearsals. While in Santa Cruz, I will have frequent internet access...
And so, I will leave this "newsy update" here to join my cohorts in this adventure, enjoying my last few hours in the northern hemisphere.
More from the other side of the equator! Hasta la proxima vez!
