okay so i have not been blogging because i have been having some issues here and word spreads like wild fire down here. But, now everything is out in the open so here we go. I had issues with my family about one month in living with them. They started asking me for money for different things and also not being treated completely like one of the family so this was very hard. i went to the AFS camp and i talked to a volenteer there and they got the ball rolling on finding me a new family. The AFS staff member in my town offered to find me a family in the same town but i know that inorder to be happy for a full year i need to be in a different place. So two weeks later i found out that i am moving! My family found out tonight that i was leaving and i realized even more so that i needed to leave that house. Because my host mother said that i am a dirty, lazy and unhelpful person who does not speak any spanish or follows any of the rules of this town or the house. Also she blammed all of my flaws on that i was American and that if i were German i would not be an issue. Which i got very heated about because it was all complete lies. Also even if it were true it was completely irrlivent to the issue considering she is the one who broke the rules by asking me for money. Anyway i will not dwell on the past! Looking forward! i wrote my sister a note in my iPhone translater saying how it was really hard for me to leave her and it was not an issue i had with her. She was very understanding and we decided that we are going to visit each other because my new city is only two hours away which in this country is not far at all. we both also cried when we had to say our goodbyes.
i currently know nothing of my new family. I will travel to Asuncion tomorrow to go to the AFS office then i assume continue to my new city which is called Capiata. It is about thirty minutes away from Asuncion which i am very excited about because that means there will be more to do in the day and night time! Though it is hard to think i have to start this whole building a relationship and trust with a new family again. Also getting to know a city and making new frinds. But i am going in with high hopes and a positive attitude.
What a pity!!! =( It was cool to meet you Elizabeth!!!! Sorry about your bad experience!!! Hope you have a great stay in your new city!!!
