| 22nd October 2009 Michellita | Thanks - From: Back to My Normal Life Galce- Thanks for your kind words. You must understand service too, because you are a police officer. Isn't it great to give back to others? Take care and talk soon! Tu hermana en Barcelona, Michellita |

| 25th April 2009 tom | bluefields - From: Summertime I read your whole blog and it was really great the way you interact with everyone. I really hope you make it to Bluefields. Do a huge post about the people and how they live and the trash and if the bay stinks and the food and everything. No travelbloggers ever go to Bluefields and I have been waiting and waiting for someone to visit and I hope you make it there and do just a huge blog all about Bluefields!! I was thinking about moving to Bluefields but no one ever visits there. I bet it is like the best place. All remote like an island but still on the mainland. Good luck with your trip. |

| 16th July 2008 Ben | your blog - From: Reaching the Half-Way Point I have been reading your blogs for a while now. I just thought to leave a message for you because you said your devoted readers are your parent and relatives and I dont qualify on that category. However, I am originally from El Salvador and live now in Michigan I have been on some of those places you describe and your blog brings good memories. Por favor cuidate mucho en esas lejanas tierras y escribinos mas sobre tus aventuras. Pasala bien Adios. |
| 20th April 2008 Neil Jacobson | Love the storys - From: It's Been A Long Time Michelle, Love your storys so much. Very time I read them though, I feel warm that you are back at your home base and safe, because I am reading about them. Out wondering on the Island by yourself is unsetteling but very fun to read about. You are going to learn so much through this and God and I continue to be so proud of you. God has many more surprises in store for you. Love DAD |
| 10th March 2008 Terra | Hey! - From: The Life It sounds like you are having fun and learning a lot there! It sounds like you enjoy those kids a lot! |
| 9th March 2008 Neil Jacobson | You should write a book - From: The Life Michelle, Your entrys are so detailed. You have a gift of being able to log everything on paper that you have lived on a minute by minute bases. Your entrys I am sure, could be a very good start to a wonderful movie about NPH. I love reading your bolgs. It is like being with you as you live from day to day. My heart is to you as you please your Lord and I. Love for ever and ever, DAD |
| 23rd February 2008 Steve | I can really picture this - From: The First Week of Classes: Pura Nica style Hi Michellita; I love the way you write. I have read several of your entries and can visualize every one, especially this last one. I can picture the kids, on their way to school, wearing their uniforms and with parents and relatives along with them. You should really think about doing creative writing or putting a book together about your experiences. It is so great that God is working through you to teach these young minds. You remarked; "...what if these seeds shall multiply past the year?" My response would be; they have already been planted and soon will begin to sprout. Perhaps not all of them, but even if it's just a few, God will surely be pleased. Take care, Michellita and God Bless! Steve C. |
| 21st February 2008 Erika | Que linda aventura - From: A Job Is Not Defined By Money Querida Michelle, Me encantaria estar en tu lugar. Creo que muchos de nosotros aqui en GAP podemos identificarnos contigo. Aun no leo los otros diarios pero estoy segura que cada dia te sientes mejor. Apuesto a que duermes muy bien por las noches despues de trabajar tanto. Estamos en contacto. Saludos a tus ninos. -Erika |
| 18th February 2008 Michellita | - From: Some Time Away I know what gallo pinto is silly... Adios (goodbye) :) Michelle |
| 18th February 2008 Jorge | Couldn't help to comment - From: Some Time Away Hey, I see you're keeping yourself busy and enjoying your time in Nicaragua. That's great! However, what's wrong with having gallo pinto (rice and beans) everyday??!?!?!?!??!!?!?!? isn't it the best food ever? :P Jorge |
| 9th February 2008 DAD | WOW! - From: Some Time Away Michelle, Oh my you can surely tell a story. After reading your entry it was like I was there. Love as always, DAD |
| 30th January 2008 Guillermo | A Different Type of Paycheck - From: A Job Is Not Defined By Money It's completely understandable to have those kinds of questions and feelings when adjusting to the type of "culture shock" you described. You're right, there's no monetary compensation here. However, every time I read your journal, I'm amazed and humbled by the priceless insights and experiences that you receive each day. I remember too all the little miracles that brought you to where you are. I hope these thoughts bring you encouragement. We're here for you! |
| 30th January 2008 DAD | God is pleased with you - From: A Job Is Not Defined By Money Michelle, Your final two paragraphs were very touching for me to read as you put your service to the needy above your service to yourself. God is very pleased with you. This year may have many days of doubt and lonlyness but your Lord will be with you through it all. I could not be more proud of you. Love you for ever and ever. Your DAD. |
| 17th January 2008 Michellita | Thanks - From: Love is not a feeling; it is a choice and a commitment William, Thanks for your support via reading the blog. It really helps me stay connected, since I feel very far away here on the island. It is a good feeling that there are others like yourself who want to be involved in my ministry. I will definitely be keeping in touch about a school drive, since I do need supplies. Nos vemos y muchas gracias para todo! |
| 16th January 2008 Jenni | Mawa! - From: My Home Jejeje, I laughed at the reference to the colectivos. After a few weeks I found myself chanting "¡Mawa Mawa Mawa!" in a nasal mantra. |
| 15th January 2008 beth | heyyyyyyy - From: Love is not a feeling; it is a choice and a commitment hey chica! q tal? wow, sounds like God's been showing and teaching you a lot in your short time already in Nic. what are some ways or requests that i can keep in mind to pray for you for? i still have another week here in chile before returning to peru... i sorta am considering just traveling alone for a little bit to argentina and perhaps staying to help at an orphanage i know about there for a few wks, cause i still have another 5 weeks of vacation. we'll see though. God's been teaching me different things on this trip too... it's been neat to get energy from meeting so many diverse and interesting people. but at the same time, i feel a serious lack of good Christian fellowship. being among unbelievers for long periods can get wearing, and i don't prefer it, ya know, because there's nothing spoken of what truly matters, the inner life we have through Christ. thanks so much for writing, friend. and if i get the chance at some point, i will keep your offer to visit in mind! take care, and keep trusting in Him for all things! love, beth |
| 11th January 2008 Guillermo | Luz en la Oscuridad - From: Love is not a feeling; it is a choice and a commitment Great photos, Michellita. Seeing the smiles on the children's faces, it seems your choice and commitment are bringing them a lot of happiness and hope. We look forward to reading about your next adventures. You're in our prayers! |
| 6th January 2008 DAD | Love the pictures - From: Nicaragua: First Experiences Recorded Michelle, It is so good to see your smiles and yet you are so far away but so close in my heart. Love for ever and ever, DAD |
| 6th January 2008 Lynn Jacobson | will be keeping in touch - From: Nicaragua: First Experiences Recorded This is Michellita's Uncle from North Dakota. Wishing her well on her experiance and will be checking back often. Quite a first day Mich. Lynn |
| 4th January 2008 Guillermo | Tu primer día... - From: Nicaragua: First Experiences Recorded Wow, That's quite a first day! Your words are so descriptive that I can almost picture each place. Hearing about the interdependence and generosity of everyone was what I enjoyed most. Ojala que tu estomago siente mejor! -G.M. |
