So it turns out that training camp is actually in New Mexico!! Though I was thinking sweet, New Mexico it will be warm...not really. It's freezing at night since this is my first day I'm not sure how the weather will go, its warming up a bit.
Today, I found out that we might be going to Elsalvador and Nicagaua as well. 5 countries in two months!!
I'm still kind of sick and have no voice now which is frustrating, but I'm going to take a little nap there and hopefully regain a little strength. I'm trying to stay positive, but I'm really drained right now so off I go.
Peace.

Portland to El Paso
I left Oregon today, off to El Paso, TX for training camp. Sarah and Matt took me to the airport and it was really nice of them to do so. Though it was sad saying goodbye to the both of them- I’m really going to miss them this summer as well as all of my wonderful friends.
I’m reaching a point of excitement…as most of you know I wasn’t excited. I was more like yeah I’m going but I’m trying not to expect anything and with that absence of expectation, I lost excitement and more thought of this trip as an experience or rather an adventure that I had no idea where it was going to take me. I am most nervous for customs and doing the traveling into the country. I have already done training in that area through a class I had to take but I’m still somewhat nervous about that.
Though I’m ready for this adventure, I’m not wishing away any of my time, I’m living in the now and enjoying the present. I did hear myself actually saying I didn’t want to leave Oregon OUT LOUD!! I really hope for my trip that I can live in the now and to my full capacity and be the most help and most effective possible.
Well over and out…I’m on the plane and skittles are flying everywhere from a crazy group of highschoolers.
