   In excitement for the ministry opportunities God had set before me in Nicaragua, I have neglected to blog about my current living conditions and my everyday life. I am living in a row house with the 11 girls on my team. The boys have a house of their own two blocks away. We live on somewhat of the outskirts of town, though almost everywhere we need to go is within walking distance. Our house is not big, but we have enough room. I share a bedroom with four other girls, and I share a bed with my friend Amy. Our kitchen has limited counter space, but we have a microwave, oven, sink, refrigerator and a newly purchased coffee maker :). Oh and the kitchen is complete with ants and mice...yikes. We take turns cooking dinner, but usually dinner is some kind of rice or noodles with veggies or chicken.

   In the morning, I wake up around 7. After I get ready for the day and eat breakfast, I have an hour of quiet time from 8-9. During this time I journal, pray, listen to music and read the bible. After quiet time we head to El Puente (the AIM base) for our morning teachings. We just finished the book Victory Over Darkness and are now studying the book The Celebration of Discipline. This past week we had a local pastort, Pastor Garcia, come give a three day series on the book of Job. I found it very interesting and informative. After the teaching, we come back home for lunch, which is usually PB&J or a cold cut sandwich. From 1-5 we go to the particular ministry for the day. This past week we taught ESL (English as a Second Language) at an orphanage for 2 days, we worked at a daycare at the orphanage, picked up trash on the street where El Puente is and we did yard work at El Puente. After our ministry we come back home and have to do our chores. Then we have dinner. Our time after dinner is spent playing cards, relaxing, playing guitar, or playing outside with the neighborhood kids. We have the weekends off, except for one or two church services on Sundays. 

    Though this may sound bland since I explained it very cut and dry, I truly enjoy everyday here. 

As a reminder, my address is
