Dear Friends and Family...

So I don’t exactly know how to express my immense gratitude for all of the wonderful packages and letters I’ve been getting! My heart just bursts with sunshine and smiles whenever I hear from you guys. I will be doing my best to write back, but since many of you are/will be in other far off lands, and my access to a post office is quite limited, and unfortunately I am not financially or physically able to send such thoughtful and caring gifts as I have received, I wanted to post this blog to say thank you. And that I miss you too. And that everyone in my training group is crazy jealous of the love I’ve been getting. And I really feel like the luckiest girl in the world. So as I slowly but surely get to writing notes back, just know that you guys are the best people in the whole world and having your support has made the transition for me in Nicaragua about 539082 times easier. Oh, and Sarah, where in the world did you find the Go Girl?!?!? HAHA!

haha im glad the package arrived. so when i was packing i was contemplating my last trip to india which included the most vile squat toilets. i dont mind these styles but daina no man woman or child should ever venture to the ones i did. the smell of the latrine was just always on you. so i did a little googling and came across http://www.go-girl.com/

havent had to use mine yet but figured it may come in handy in nica as well! :)

Hi Daina,
I saw your mom and sis this weekend and heard all about your amazing adventures. You are awesome and inspiring and definitely not "vanilla"...I know you will make a huge difference wherever you are... and please protect the animals... Alysa, Barry, Brianna and Jess
