Jordan

I got to talk to Jordan yesterday. Craig and Karen usually call on Sundays, so I try to call on Wednesdays. That way, Jordan gets a phone call every few days. He has been spending this week in the town he will be working in for the rest of his term with the Peace Corps. Part of his job will be working at a youth center in the town. He said the students range in age from around 7 up to 16.

He also has his own small house to stay in. His house is part of a compound that another family lives in. His house has a bedroom and living room and he shares a bathroom and kitchen with the family. This week he bought a mattress, bedding, and curtains. He is waiting for his bed and he is hoping to buy a couch. His house has electricity. He eats most of his meals at a nearby restaurant.

On Friday, he will be leaving to go back to the training site for three more weeks of training. After that, he will move into his new home for good! He said he got to watch President Obama's Inaguration with the locals in his town. He seems to be having a great time and enjoying the adventure of a lifetime!
