Getting Sworn In as a Peace Corps Volunteer!

Ryan's Mom again . . . I talked with Ryan today - his 25th Birthday. The trainees had their final language test (LPI) this morning!! What a relief for everyone. There was a party to celebrate - which included the host families. The trainees leave Monday for the Embassy in Antananarivo (known as Tana to the locals) to be sworn in on Tuesday, January 26th. There will be another party after the swear-in ceremony and then off to their assigned posts on Wednesday, January 27th. Ryan still can't believe how lucky is to have been assigned to the coast! He has been texting a "seasoned" volunteer living in the same village - she told him that it gets down to 80 degrees at night, its hotter during the day, and that the ocean water is warm! He can't wait. CONGRATULATIONS RYAN!!!

Ryan will have a new address soon.
