Hey Everyone!
I have met my family! Yesterday I arrived in Santa María de Dota with an Icelandic girl who is in the same town as me. It is good to have someone near you to be able to talk to because I am not going to lie, it´s really tough. I am getting my point across to my family, Carmen (my mom) says I speak very well but I know she´s just being nice. Jeaustin just walked into the internetcafe. He is my 7 year old brother. Our other brother, David, might be the cutest thing Ihave ever seen. He is three years old reminds me quite a bit of Hank except maybe a few less tantrums. :) Though it was a little surprising. A month ago my dad got in an accident at the coffee factory and they had to amputate almost to the knee! He is now staying with his mother about 2 blocks away, But I have already seen him twice.
I am in almost a center of town and I am 5 minutes away from the school. On the way to school is the house of the icelandic girl. She doesnt speak quite well, but she is already bilingual as Icelandic is her native language and English is taught to 5 year olds. I visited the school today but I did not attend. I saw my class and gave a little presentation upon the profesor´s request, but I left after because I do not have a uniform or supplies. I am not gonna lie to you guys, the school kids are crazy disrespectful to the teacher. They do not give a shittt. Well, most of them.
I gotta go. Jeaustin wants to play with me.
¡Adios!
Gabriel

I hope David treats you better than Hank did. It's nice to know that you're doing well.

I love reading these, and I'm happy to see you're enjoying your stay and that everything is well. David and Jeaustin seem adorable, you should take some pictures if you can! Going to school should be am interesting adventure since you differ from the current students, especially personality wise. I can't wait to hear about it.
