Estoy en Paraguay

Hola
I have been in Paraguay for about a week now and so far it has been going very well. The peace corps has been keeping us busy. We have spanish class every morning for 4 hours and in the afternoon we have classes or various thing like how to build latrines, how not to get robbed, and how not to get sick. So far I have been doing just fine with everything. I have, probably, the second worst spanish level out of our group of 38 but that just means I am a canidate for the most improved award. Those who are learning guarani say it is imposiible to pronounce all of the words, so I have that to look forward to.
My host family is very nice. I have my mother and father, two brothers and two sisters. Only one of the bothers lives with us all the time. His name is Hector and he is 17. My other brother, Bruno, is in seminary school in a nearby town and he comes by fairly often. One sister, Norma, I have not meet and the other, Rosanna, stays with us on weekends.
I have to go now but I will post more soon (pictures too hopefully).
