Hey everyone, Sorry I have been so terrible with updating. I have just been so busy!! The ministry here is amazing, like nothing i have ever seen before! We just got back from the English convention. It was great and so encouraging! I am still terrible with my spanish but I will get it in time. We went to Grenada and walked around- got to see many old buildings. It is a beautiful city. Did a day in the rurals and that was fun and a great experience as well. Everyone here is so friendly, when you walk by everyone greets you. That is just a brief update and again I am sorry I haven't been better at updating! ... read more


I have been slacking with posting but, I have been so busy! Saturday morning was our first day of service. we all sat down and figured out a presentation and I got to use it. So, of course all in Spanish. I am starting to understand some stuff but definetly not talking it yet. The ministry here is AMAZING and such a great experience! Saturday we must have started at least 3 studies that morning. Like nothing i have ever seen. Then we came home and studied our watchtower.

I will have more to say later, but, have to go!... read more

Then, we ate fresh pineapple and yogurt while drinking wonderful coffee. (What a great way to start a day) We went on a wonderful hike at Selva Negra (translated to black forest) It was beautiful! While there, we got to see wild monkeys crossing through the trees. That was my first time and was so neat! I could have watched them all day long! They were howler monkeys. On the way there I met a pioneer couple and got to chat with them for a couple minutes. So, we ate some lunch and then headed to Matalgalpa (spelling?) - there, we got to see the bethal ... read more


So, got to stay in a Nicaragua hotel in Managua over the night after flying in. Writing it a day late but, this was a very busy day! We got all our luggage into taxis and were taken to the bus depot so we could head to Jinotega. We traveled there with a family that is just moving in. We saw donkeys, carrying around carts that carry people. We saw bike taxis where people bike people around town. We saw places that only sell blue barrels and bird cages. (at least we know where to go lol) It was about a 2-2 1/2 hour bus ride and it was VERY hot in Managua so, sweating the first part, but it got cooler as we went on. We got to see green coffee beans drying in the ... read more
