I am starting to get used to everything down here. There are definitely still somethings that I miss from the states like not finding any cockroaches thankfully we have not found any in a while :-) and I miss a constantly hot shower you see they have these water heaters that are used as shower heads and it turns on with certain amounts of pressure and if you have to much water coming through it wont be warm bc it is going through to fast and if there is not enough it will turn off and the water pressure keeps changing through out the whole shower, and I really miss being able to flush toilet paper down the toilet (their plumbing can not handle the paper) but other than those few things I am enjoying myself
I got some news after I blogged last time. Instead of having 9 girls w/ one bathroom we are now having 8 girls w/ 2 bathrooms – Thank You Jesus!! The reason for that is one of the girls decided she wanted to leave last sat she is from a village in the mountains and the villages here the ladies rarely ever leave them. so she missed it to much. Another reason is because we were supposed to have 2 guys from Mexico coming, they were going to come late, they are still coming but only for a month so they are not moving in with us.
I got a new roommate this week hopefully Sam (my other roomy from Indiana) and I wont scare her away. Her name is Imna and she is from Nicaragua.
On Sunday night we went to a dirt bike trail and set of fireworks/bombs (they were not really fireworks bc they don’t go in the air they just sort of explode) well these ones were so big we had to go away from houses and cars bc we would shatter the glass but we set off all the car alarms around us when they went off.
I had a meeting with the director and found out that I am the outreach coordinator for the month of January I am in charge of street evangelism. I have to grade my fellow classmates on different things like if they are doing what they are supposed to, their attitude about it, and if they show up to everything on time. Also, I am in charge of planning devotionals for Monday and I get to teach them. I chose to keep one for me to do and give one to another girl to do. I would not have minded doing both of them but I prayed about it and felt like I should let her do one. Since mine is before we go out and do our first day of evangelism I chose to talk on not being afraid of sharing the gospel and stuff like that. I am exited for next week we are going out Mon - Fri preaching the gospel on the streets. One day we are hoping to go to a children’s hospital and preach to the children.
So the other day Sam, Sarah, and I went shopping for one of our classmates birthday and every two feet you here some one hollering something at Sam and I it made me laugh I knew we were going to get comments from people but it was like at every block we had guys saying hola or hello and wanna be my friend or they were honking horns or stopping in the cars and saying hello beautiful. It was funny.
