Service Group

Cozy bus ride to the Assembly

Again

Girls in service

Lace and me getting ready with our tiny mirrors!

This was part of the service group one saturday that we went out into the campo to preach.
It was an hour + ride. They are troopers sitting in the back!

This was on our bus ride home from Granada.
This guy got super comfortable with me.

Us with a few girls from the Congregation.

Just crossing a river!

Soccer on the beach.

The alley we live in.

Isam! This little boy has stolen all of our hearts!
Such a cutie!

I have been so horrible at keeping this blog up to date while being here in Nicaragua. Partly because there is little time to do so and also that we are using dial-up speed internet. Anyways I can't believe it but I have been here for 2 whole months! In this post I'm going to just give a sample of some photos from the past months but from here on out I'm going to try to keep this as up to date as possible. Maybe weekly? Anyways I'm happy to say that we are having an AMAZING time down here and we really do love it! Days go by slow here yet weeks and months fly by. We have really settled into the town and have our own little routine. This month has been particularly cooler and this past week has been sort of grey. But all in all we have been having great experiences here. Its great to come and get lost in another culture. I will do my best to keep this updated! I hope you enjoy the pictures!

until next time...

me and shelly

in the ministry on a saturday morning

typical break in service at a pulperia

we bought bananas from the woman here because they were amazing!

Its not rare to see a squirrel as a pet here.

we finally got a net for our bed due to my spider bite :)

This is what I miss the most hands down

First day in service. This is our lovely Trooper

Juli and Bianca in action

Yummy meal in Liberia

Kingdom Hall that the girls have been going to

Michelle and I eating a lychee

The entrance to our place, its nice with a gate

which keeps it safe.

Spanish service in Flamenco

It was very touristy there so I got to preach in

English too.

A sister from france whose name i have forgotten, Luz, and Louis.

Typical scene. It rains mid morning so we take a little break

and look for cover from the rain.

Our House

This is the only mirror in the house so we have to move it

around to where the lighting is best :)

First Spanish meeting!

This is Chloe. She's so cute. Only 2 months old!

It has been great spending a few days here. I hear its a step above Nicaragua so it was nice to kind of break myself into it here first and now Im ready to rough it! I have already gotten a lot of practice in the ministry speaking spanish. Its crazy how much you learn just being here. Anyways once I get to Nicaragua its going to be sort of crazy the first couple of weeks because we are traveling around a lot. But once we settle I will update everyone!

Chicago Update

Our time spent so far here in CHI town has left our feet aching and our backs sore. We have covered every square inch of this city... Or at least it feels like it. Between shopping and being a spectator of the Marathon we have gotten a lot of milage in. Here are just a few highlights. More to come of course!

remember this?

Does this call for an annual tradition? I'm thinking yes.

I figured since I am leaving in 2 weeks that I better get this blog in shape before I head over seas. This weekend I'm headed to watch some awesome family and friends run the Chicago Marathon! Stay tuned for pictures of that!

Words cannot even begin to describe how wowzed I am by what he has captured.

But then you spend a night outdoors with people you love and it makes it seem a little less bleak.

Shanas iPhone skills paid off.

I don't have a lot of time to post before I head out tomorrow to Chicago!

Packing for this little getaway has proven to be difficult due to the crazy weather..

So! I've decided to pack lots of cardigans (my signature),silk shells in bright colors,essential flats and sandals,just in case, and of course a trench to weather the storm. Looks like to stay dry we'll just have to shop more.
