Awky Times

Don´t say something scary about your community unless you want to be shipped out in a hurry

So I called my APCD to see what he would say about my family taking things from my house every single time I left. I was leaving the key with them so that they could fix stuff even while I was out. So the APCD seemed pretty understanding, but wasn´t letting me know what was going on. I was getting frustrated. So I pulled a wild card that I knew would get a reaction, I just did not know how severe. I told my APCD that there was a possible rapist in my community. It was just a rumor. But it was a rumor that kept me from living in a pretty nice house up the street. So there had to be some truth behind it. Because the deed was not completed, just attempted, there was nothing reported to the police. So when I dropped the rapist bomb on my APCD, he got the director of safety and security, Julieta, and the Country Director, Cisco, to come down to visit me and see my site. I was scared shitless that they were all coming. But it turned out ok. We sort of just hung out and discussed what was bothering me. Oh, and we ate a lot. When they got into town, we went to eat lunch. Then we went to the police station to see if there was a rape reported in Mercedes Cadena. Then we went to my site for a total of 15 minutes. After interrogating the arthritic grandmother in a not very sneaky way about the rapist, my APCD told her that I might be removed for health reasons. Then we checked to records at the police station in Guamote. Nothing there either, as I told them. So my APCD decided that I should be moved to another site. It is further south, in the province of Azuay. It is called Delegsol. It is exactly like my current site, except they have never had a volunteer and there is no cell service. But I am going to visit it first, just to make sure it is what I am going to be okay with. So I´ll let you all know how it goes.
