Hello everyone... the much awaited news has come!!!! I found out who my host family is and where I will be living! I willl be living in the small rural village of Reken which is in the beautiful Munsterland in North-Rhine Westphalia! I will be staying with the Grave family which consists of my host parents Herbert and Andrea, and my host siblings Patrick (23), Stefanie (20), and Lisa (15). I have included pictures of my host parents and sisters (Patrick lives in Berlin with his girlfriend). The town in which I am living is about 20 minutes away from some surronding cities where there is a lot to do! I am so excited to finally have a host family and can't wait to meet them. For now I am waiting for my departure information which should be coming anyday now. I will leave Norrwin on September 1st and head to DC for a departure orientation on the 2nd. I will leave from DC on the 5th for Germany! I have less than 60 days before I leave and time is flying.
That's all for now.
Jessie :)
