So, a few days ago, I received a friend request on facebook from a girl named Joseline. She messaged me something along these lines "Hi! I'm Joseline. You will come to my rotary club and I am happy for you!" I totally freaked out because at this point I didn't even have my DISTRICT yet alone my CLUB! She proceeded to tell me that she had lived in Florida as an exchange student a few years ago. She said her club in Peru had my information and were preparing for me! So I was like "So I will be living in Lima?" and she said "Yes, you will be here with us". So my rotary club is called (in english) Our Lady of Grace.
I'M GOING TO LIMA!!
SO AMAZING RIGHT?!? I'm so glad she messaged me! She also said it is probable that I will live with her family. But she didn't know if it would be my first family or not.
And not 2 hours later.... I received two more friend requests. They both also messaged me, and here is the gist of it. One request was from a girl named Karen. She explained that she was also from the club Our Lady of Grace. She said she would be going on exchange to France, and that I would probably live in her house with her family! The other request was from Karen's mother (Isabella Jady), who explained basically the same thing as Karen had. But they also did not know if they would be my first family or not. I chatted with them on facebook for about an hour (IN SPANISH!!!!)

| Lima!! Nearly 9 million inhabitants! |
So I heard from two of my families within the same day! But I don't know when I will live with either of them lol. And technically this is not official, so this very well could change. I don't actually know that any of this is certain, except for that I will be hosted by the club Our Lady of Grace in Lima, Peru.
Joseline said they will have a rotary meeting tonight and I think she said they will discuss the host families, so she will probably be able to tell me who will be my first family soon!
Also, she told me there would be 3 students total hosted by Our Lady of Grace club : Me (USA) Emilie (Denmark) and Victor (Belgium). I am happy I am not alone in my club!! :D I'm so grateful that we will have each other and I hope we will become close friends. I think that's everything... I'll post again when I hear more about families.
Oh yeah, and Joseline also told me they already know my school, because apparently all the students that go to this club go to the same school : it's called Santa Rosa de Lima. I think... haha and Karen's mom told me they wear uniforms =)
