Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, we've been pretty busy navigating our way through bolivia.
I really like where we're staying because we're right in the center of town, which is super helpful because we literally walk everywhere. There are a lot of plazas which are pretty much these nice parks that have a lot of restaurants and where people can go to sell things (handmade jewelry, empanadas, fruits and vegetables...). There is also a lot of markets in Bolivia where we go to get our fresh fruit, vegetables, and meat (we've never actually gotten meat from the market because we're not 100% sure that we won't get sick from it).
We went out in service yesterday. We all met in the territory, which was about an hour walk from where we are staying. Since we are in the sign language group we did canvassing, which is pretty much when you go up to people's houses and ask if they know anyone deaf. But I have to give my whole presentation in Spanish (which I hardly know any of. But I am being forced to learn fast because nobody here knows English). My first presentation the householder just looked at me with a blank so ally had to step in and save me, but the next few semmed to understand me. The good thing is everyone here is so kind and patient and a lot of the people in the sign language group are from America so they speak English.
We are having such a great time here!!

Hey Ladies, Those markets sound fun! That's a smart move not to be eating the meat. I'm glad Service is so enjoyable. Wow, deaf and Spanish. You go, Girls!๐
