Welcome 2008


Wow, I haven't updated my Blog since October, my apologies to all. I've made it a new year's resolution to be better about updating...even if it's a couple of lines with some pictures at least you'll know I'm still here working!

I wanted to thank all of you who made the trip down to see me at home during the holidays...I definitely felt the love...and also those who called with many words of encouragement. I can't tell you how hard it was to leave. The first couple of days here were pretty rough, honestly I thought about just calling it quits...but I knew it would get easier after a couple of days. So the first week has gone by and I already have the same feeling that I had when I started...excitement and a motivation to work. I guess it's like the peace corps says "It is the hardest job you'll ever love" It blows my mind to think of how far I've come in these last 8 months and I'm excited about my next 19...but who's counting :)

Hi Felipe: You mom sent me the link so I was able to see all the wonderful things you are doing in Guatemala. At such an early age, you are impacting so many people in a very positive way. Everything you are doing is to be commended.

We are all very proud of you here and I am looking forward to reading more of your accomplishments in all the villages you continue to visit. Keep up the great work.

Take care,

Sandra Porta-Merida
