I'm here in Guyana!!  I'm sorry that I have taken so long to post.  It's pretty hard to get internet access where I am located.  I am living in a remote training site called St. Cuthbert's Mission.  It is an Amerindian community of about 2,000 people.  I am living with a host family. My host family is my host mom, Denise, host dad, Bryan, host brother, Brandon (12), host sister Saballina (7), and host sister Gabby (3).  They have been teaching me to wash my laundry by hand, take bucket baths, cook local food, and understand the rules of cricket.  I'm using the internet connection at the local internet cafe.  Which is a small room with 6 computers used by the entire community.  It's only open Monday - Friday from 6 - 9 pm.  So it's usually pretty crowded.  I'm hoping to write more soon and to add some of the pictures that I have taken!  My mailing address for the next 7 weeks is
