…to me! I’ve officially completed one year of service today (NOT April
fools!). This past year has been one of small triumphs; big disappointments;
moments of joy, frustration, and sadness; self-reflection; and lessons learned.
My site change dramatically altered my course of service; it has provided new
opportunities, but in many ways it put me back at the beginning. So while
technically I am now officially halfway done with my service, I feel like I’m
only three months in. There are new friendships to form, new working
relationships to establish and grow, new work plans to develop and implement, a
new language to learn, and a new culture to adapt to. It’s exhausting, yet
exhilarating.
While there are times I still question the wisdom of my decision to
pack up my life in the states and join the Peace Corps, overall I’m glad I did.
As most returned Peace Corps volunteers will tell you, what makes this
experience so worthwhile is not necessarily the work-related activities you
will complete during your two years of service, but rather the relationships
you will build, the places you will visit, the food you will eat, the music you
will listen to, and the all of the everyday occurrences and special events you
will witness and take part in as you become integrated into your community. I’m
guessing I’ve already changed quite a bit since my arrival in Nicaragua, and no
doubt I will change even more by the time I complete my two years of service.
Physical wear and tear aside, I hope that these changes have been for the good.
PS – A very happy birthday (tomorrow) to two amazing women in my life:
my grandmother, Margaret, and my godmother, Marty! ¡Felíz cumpleaños, abuelita y madrina!
Word of the week: cambiar – to change
Happy anniversary, Sara! <3

I'm here to give my testimony how I was cured from HIV, I contacted my HIV via blade. A friend of my use blade to peel of her finger nails and drop it where she use it, so after she has left i did know what came unto me i looked at my nails, my nails were very long and I took the blade which she just used on her own nails to cut of my finger nails, as i was maintaining my names, i mistakenly injured myself. I did even bother about it, so when I got to the hospital the next week when i was ill the doctor told me that I am HIV positive, i wondered where did i got it from so i remembered how I use my friend blade to cut off my hand so i feel so sad in my heart to the extent that i don’t even know what to do, so one day i was passing through the internet i met a testimony of a lady that all talk about how she was cured by a doctor called DR Imoloa so i quickly emailed the doctor and he also replied to me and told me the requirements which i will provide and I do according to his command, he prepare a herbal medicine for me which I took.
