Hi everybody!!
Well,you guys know that I am Monica Benitez I got accepted in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps and recieved a position in St.Francis, South Dakota for a year. I am EXCITED!! Although I am a little nervous about the COLDDD weather. I will be living on Rosebud indian reservation and be surrounded around the Lakota tribe. I am excited to absorb a new culture and a way of life.
I am slowing getting together things thatI would need to take to South Dakota. The first on my list is a parka and thermals,haha. I will be leaving August 10 to Pinehurst, TX where orientation will be for 5 days and then take of to South Dakota with my new housemates, YAY im anxious to meet them. I hope they like hugs, because I love hugs, haha.
This is my first blog, I hope to keep up this so you can read what is going on in my life in SD!!
Peace!
Moni
