Texas Te Amo

I LOVE OAK CLIFF SO MUCH!!! also, I apologize for the appalling lack of communication homeward on my part. My preparation days are generally filled with chatting with my family on the phone and aggressive spike ball tournaments. Sometimes writing a group email falls somewhere toward the bottom of my priorities on my laid back Mondays.  Life is going very well over here in the south of Dallas!!! There has been a large quantity of happennings since I last wrote home.  I got a new companion, Hermana Huerta!! She has helped me so much.
