Paz y bien.
It's more than just a way to get everyone to quiet down to listen to an announcement, it really is the finca's way of approaching life.

I can't believe I'm actually here. I'm finally at the place I've been tranisitioning into for months. And now that I'm here (though my brain is moving on hyperspeed) my heart is at peace.
I hear the ocean waves from my (new) house. Geckos are chirping at every hour. I am constantly sweating. Spanish clouds around me. Bucket showers are normal. I'm constantly reminded that I've finally made it.
I'm home.

It's been a slow easing in as we absorb how the current missionaries live, learn the names of the kids and staff, solidify rules in our brain, and give ourselves time to adjust to esta vida bellisima.
It's been a lot to take in, but every day I wake up I feel how joy, hope, and trust embrace this corner of the world.
Everything is new. Everything is different. But it all begins and ends with paz y bien.
