The news everyone has been waiting to hear!
We were placed in the parish of Saint Elizabeth which is located on the Southwestern part of the island. We are both working for an organization called RADA (Rural Agricultural Development Authority). It is directly under the Ministry of Agriculture! We will be working with farmers and extension officers.
It has been almost a week since we found out and moved to our new location. We’re living with a woman, her sister, and little boy. We can’t give a lot of details about it for safety reasons. However I can tell all of you that it’s HOT, cozy, safe, and exciting!!!! Our house mother has pigs which make me very very happy- they’re even durocs! Last night I made a new friend- a little kitten- he looks like LT- I’m hoping he stays around and keeps eating the lizards, bugs, and rats! Hopefully he doesn’t get eaten by a dog or squished by a car!
We’ve been touring some of the local farms; agriculture schools, and talking with 4-H leaders. They hosted a welcoming ceremony for us on Tuesday! It was really nice, there were several guest speakers, food, and we sat at the front table (as if we were special guests of honor or something like that).
We’re busily preparing for next week- the fair! It will be really exciting to see how it is different from the good ol Canyon County Fair in Idaho!
We’ll post some pictures soon, hopefully of the latest happenings! Lots of love to everyone!
