Tuesday Morning

I cant believe it has now been a week since I left the states... wow... it feels so much longer!! Sunday I attended church in Sighisoara, and later at night in Tigmandru. Both services were wonderful! I loved being in both places, and i love churches that are bilingual.. i dont mind people translating as much as I thought i would. I thought it would be distracting, but it isnt... it helps me focus on what i had just heard.

On Monday, we had our usual 8 am language class followed by some time with Dorothy and teh girls. After that we went to lunch at the family center and ate wtih some of the elderly people here. Monday was my first day to start visiting programs, so I visited the special needs program which i absolutely loved! One of the people in the program-Alex, painted a picture for me of a house with ducks, and a well in front of it. It is great- it now lays above my bed, next to juniors picture :)
After going to the program, I met one on one with Dorothy to discuss details of my practicum. We decided that I will be helping in the special needs program, as well as with the preschool. The Preschool meets 4 days a week 8 am -12, and the special needs program meets 2 days a week 12pm-3pm. I am very excited! After I write this entry I am actually going to be attending the preschool program to make sure that is what I want to do. I am very excited for what is in store for me.

After the program yesterday, I went to Dorothys house to help prep dinner. Every monday night Dorothy has all of the American volunteers over her house for dinner and a cultural history lesson. After this I went home and showerd and read a ton of my book! I have to go now! I will try to write later! l revedere!!!

I miss you and love you all!
