Howdy folks!
I'm sitting here at the hall in Masaya, listening to the rain pour down. To not like rain and live in Nicaragua is like... fainting at the sight of blood but choosing to be a nurse. ;)
Ike and Silvia are letting me use their computer so I thought I should take advantage of the fact that I can type!
The past few days have been very quiet and... I hate to say it, but long. The girls left Monday, then the men all packed up and left Thursday morning. Since then... I've not been sure what to do with myself. I much prefer to be busy but it will come to an end- just one more week!
Brenda and I are heading up to Jalapa tomorrow morning to stay until after the gospel meeting Tuesday night. We'll be bringing back Andrew B and delivering him to the airport on Wednesday morning.
With the lack of activity the past couple days, I have been using some of my time to go through a spanish workbook. I can say that I have learned some things already, and it has given me the boost of confidence I lost a couple weeks ago. As trepidatious as it is... I am once again allowing myself to stumble around with words and try to convey my thoughts.
Mark is now sick and feeling miserable (round 2 for him), and Kyle Wilson is recovering from being ill last week. Please pray that the other guys don't get sick during their time up there.
I am thankful to say that I have still stayed free of the germs that have been spreading their way around El Valle. Many local people are sick at this time and I hear its pretty miserable. I am officially the only one in the house to have not been struck ill (parasites don't count!).
Meeting starts soon so I guess I better close up.
I am not able to do much with emailing but I do enjoy reading your emails- especially during the next week! So if you have time, please feel free to drop a note!
I give my love to my friends and family.
**Official Note**
I am officially staying until August 19th, the ticket has been extended and the okay has been given. :)
