Those of you who know me well will not be surprised to see my room looking like a tornado touched down with only 3 days to go before my departure! On monday morning I will head down to the Dominican armed with lots of bug spray, school supplies, and LOTS of soft shoes and poodle socks! (Thanks to all who sent me shoes/socks, I'm so excited to hopefully be teaching an after school dance class while I'm down there) While I'll be sad to say goodbye to family, friends, and dance students (only 3 weeks until nationals, practice practice practice!), I'm also feeling pretty anxious to get down there and get to work. Please pray for safe travel on Monday as myself and the other 15 interns fly from around the US to meet in Miami and then continue on to Santiago. There we will have a few days of orientation and then split up into our various locations. I will be teaching at a school in Jarabacoa, which is in the mountains. If you'd like to write me while I'm down there, you can send letters (not packages!) to this address:
Jillian Oury
Unit 3049-KAIDR
3170 Airmans Dr.
Ft. Pierce, FL 34946
I will only be able to get mail every 2-3 weeks, but I'd love letters! Thanks for your prayers everyone, I can't wait to share this experience with you all via blog!
