No government shut down in the cane fields

No government shut down here in Batey Monte Cristy. We received a formal letter from our Peace Corps Director this week. Volunteers don't stop working :) We are doing well and very busy. Our internet service is either really great or non-exsistent so hang in there friends and family. Hopefully, this weekend we will have decent service and we can respond to several of the looming unanswered questions and e-mails. Both of us have been working on different projects with the Youth in our project sites and this weekend we are off to a conference focusing specifically on families as a whole unit. Hooray!!! We are looking forward to a visit from Dan's Mom next week, our first visit in country! And then, Cortney & Kylie (CO friends) in June and Phoebe's parents! More soon, sending you all peace and best wishes, Phoebe and Dan
