First week in El Salvador!

So I made it to El Salvador! This is such a beautiful country and the people have been so nice! Right now there are 10 of us and we are living in a pretty nice house. Our neighborhood is has guards with big guns which you get used to seeing pretty quick because you see security guards with guns everywhere.
I forgot my camera cords so as soon as I can get a card reader I will add pictures :(
The first full day I went out and did eye exams with a non profit here called Fudem. It was a lot of fun to see all the people in the little community we went to.
Every Friday we go volunteer so that is what we did the second day I was here. Building houses is a lot of work and the heat does not help either. But it will be a good experience. After that we went and taught English at the LDS office building. We do that every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Since I do not speak Spanish I am teaching the advanced class so that will be fun!
On monday we went to a couple of orphanages which was been great! The first one was Hogar Providencia which is a boy’s home. We are teaching them English and they were so great! They are so cute and such good boys! The other home is CIPI which is a girls home and most of the girls have been sexually abused so that is sad :(
One of the things we can do is put together our own project. I am trying to put together a workout class for them and that will I will be in charge of a couple times a week! The girls said that they do not get any exercise during the week and they would love to have a class where they can get a work out. So my plan is to teach Pilates and then play soccer and other sports with them!
Today we went with Fudem and handed out flyers at schools so the kids know they can get their eyes checked.
So far it has been really fun and a good experience. I will try to post pictures asap so everything will come together and you can really see what I am doing!

Less then a week!

I leave for El Salvador in on June 10th which is less then a week away! I am really excited but also a little nervous. I don't know what to expect but I'm sure it will be an amazing experience.
