My Boys

Meet Mark and Adrian, my two best friends. Someone in Peace Corps played a cruel trick on the three of us and put us all in different states. Mark lives in the north west in Huehuetenango, Adrian is more central in Totonicipan, and I'm out in the east in Alta Verapaz. Despite the distance we stay in touch daily.  I love these boys.

what am i doing here?

Top 5 Misconceptions about my Peace Corps Service.

5. I’m on a mission from God to convert the heathens. Evangelical Judaism, really?
4. My horrible boyfriend at home won’t marry me so I’ve runaway to hide my shame.
3. My family hates me and banished me to the rural jungle of northern Guatemala.
2. I am looking for a husband. A very popular school of thought among the young men of Chisec.
1. I’m a draft dodger hiding from the American Government.
