I’ve been adopted?!

On the way from my house on the day of my arrival, I was stopped by Josephine, a worker at Xavier. She excitedly asked me (with translation help from her co worker) if she could be my sponsor. Not knowing what this meant, I accepted. Now I know.

Yesterday she ran up to me in the hall, saying that Mr. Carl, the principle, said she had been approved to be my “sponsor”. 

Today, we were told to pack our bags. We were headed to stay with our host families. So THAT’S what they mean’t... I now belong to a local chuukese family...and we are to stay with them every so often on weekends or when family activities happen, to help is learn more about Chuukese culture. 

Talk about culture shock. I packed my back pack, and followed Maria (another 2nd year JV teacher) through the jungle to Josephines land. One of her daughters speaks english, and she told me they would not be ready to host me tonight, and to come back on sunday. 

I honestly don’t know if i’m ready for this...


In other news, my computer died again, and this time it’s for good. I gave it to Roberta, the certified teacher from Guam, to take it back to Guam with her, where she knows a repair shop. At this point, what other choice do I have?

No computer...at least I won’t need a computer where I’m going... 🦎🦎🦎 ALL OR NOTHING!!
