And The Verdict Is...

Hey guys!!

Sorry it's been so long.  So much has happened since I last told you guys about my life.  Our area had a second Naadam (the winner was from our aimag and used his winnings to put on another Naadam), we then had no electricity during the day for 4 days because they were fixing power lines, the internet in the square stopped working, I visited a famous park on the Russian border,  I left my host family, and I found out my site!

I won't go into too much about the older things, but I'll start with leaving.

So yesterday I said goodbye to Sukhbaatar for the last night to come to Darkhan for the last few days of training (on Saturday I will swear in as an official volunteer!!!!).  My darling puppy (who is terrified of big dogs....she followed me to school the other day and I had to pick her up like a baby and take her back home) walked all the way to school with us to say bye.  She is just so cute!

Next we took the meeker to Darkhan and the first thing we found out was our test scores from our language test (which we took last Wednesday).  I got the requirement (although I thought my abilities were better than that....but I have 2 years to use it right?) so....YAY!

Later on in the day, we went to the Children's Park where we found out our sites.  I will be in a ger in a BEAUTIFUL Aimag called Arkhangai.  I'm in the center with 3 site mates!  I'm a little scared of the ger life (making fires to keep warm, no running water...which Zelda will love...., and an outdoor potty), but what is Peace Corps without some surprise, right?  Can't go back home and say I was in the Posh Corps (the name they give to people who 'have no struggles' in the Peace Corps).

I'm still in shock, but i will totally give you guys more info after swearing in and when I get to site (granted I find the internet source!).   Check out the link on Arkhangai to learn more about my beautiful future home!

I love ya'll!
