Ok, bad news. Internet is costing me $10 and cell phone would be $1.60 a minute. SO I don't know if i'll have any contact for the next three months. Now this may seem like a joke...lol but...it's not.
Cali is going great. Life seems like it's flying by, it feels like I haven't had contact with the outside world in FOREVER (even though it's only been like a week). Camping was an adventure. I froze! Who would have thought.
School is going great, Ralph and DOnna Bromely come next week to do the complete lo-down on children at risk.
Church is amazing, still in this guy Shawn's house but might be moving to a real building in the next few weeks.
Other interns? Love 'em. Turns out when you live, eat and breathe the same people for forever and day you become very close. very quickly.
And me, well I still secretly think we should be driving on the left side but am adjusting to the American lifestyle (fast food, no exercise, and starbucks every 10 minutes) (just kidding Americans, i love you!) I am also trying my best to learn spanish. I have daily classes with another intern from Ecuador, it's great.
WELL tons of love, hope you're all well!
Hopefully i'll write again within the next month or so?

CAITLIN, yes your family has vanished from the country but if worse comes to worse, corduroy does indeed make a lovely substitute.

Hey ya'll! JK! I haven't turned that American yet.

I made it to Cali! Everything is going well, I had trouble getting into the country with customs and missed my flight but eventually I made it here. There are 11 interns in the program and we're actually at the directors mom's house right now on our way to a camping trip! (team bonding?)
The program keeps us busy with classes during the day and outreach at night. The most exciting outreach we'll be doing (most exciting in my mind) is called "Night life" that works with prostitutes and girls that are being trafficked in the scanky dens in LA.
Will share more about it later. Love you all, sorry it's so short. Might get a phone next wekk. loves!
Speak soon,
Cass

Hey guys,
Thank you so much for all your prayers and numerous emails, just want to say I am doing fabulous. Well, maybe not fabulous, tired is more like it BUT my emotions have stabilised. (ptl) After saying goodbye to laura while working nine consecutive days and then trying to sell this flat all I really wanted to do was see my mom, HOWEVER work is now finito, I kicked out the real estate agents and i'm half way through packing! i've also hit the 'goodbye groove' so all is well with the world. (Not to mention I got my eyebrows waxed which always makes life just that much better. (lol it's the little things)) The next time I write I will be on the other side of the ocean hopefully developing a brilliant looking tan. (suffering for the gospel yet again. life is so rough) hope you're all doing great, speak soon!
