Pete's Internship with BEST and the CDI
Dear Journal,
Today was another hard day at the office. I spent all day taking pictures of myself using the timer on my camera. I would have done work but I didnt have any. Luckily Justin is changing my internship to the Cayo Deaf Institute. At CDI, I will be able to help out in their garden, their orchard, and anywhere else I am needed. I will learn sign language, although not that well. I will change the oil on a Toyota 4Runner and also a Kubota 425. I will also help with the castrations of 3 bulls. That will be a unique memory that will never leave my brain even when I try desperately. I will play football with the kids. I will wrestle with the older kids and then regain my pride by wrestling with the younger, smaller, and weaker kids. It will be great. I will learn about living by faith from Jason and Frank, two of the Mennonites who work there. I will learn about the different cultures between the speaking and the deaf, and even the culture between the deaf and the deaf who can lipread. I will learn a lot about walking as well, seeing as CDI is a mile and a half off of the highway. During those walks I will see gorgeous birds, smelly pigs, Eric, and friendly locals. Justin says my next 2 weeks at CDI will be great. I can’t wait.
I love you, journal. You are the only one that gets me. Never change, journal, never.
Yours Always,
Pete McLean
