I know, I know. I suck. Just like I feared, when the group came in, my life became super hectic and I have had absolutely NO time to come and write. The few precious moments I´ve had to myself have been spent relaxing. Yesterday I finally just got overtired and felt like crap, but I slept a lot last night and have been taking it easy this morning.
There is definitely no way I have time right now to explain all the events of the past week, but I just wanted to pop in and let you all know that I´m still alive and still have lots to tell. Here´s a glimpse of what´s to come...
- Chili went well - the women loved it and we had a great time cooking together.
- At night, the church had planned a special 4th of July celebration for us gringos - they even bought fireworks - massive, legal-in-the-US-fireworks. And one of them is a wooden box that´s supposed to be a bull. A guy puts it on his head and chases after everybody. You´re supposed to taunt him by running towards him and running away, but the entire time, fireworks are shooting off both sides at you. It was pretty crazy, to say the least. And no, there are no pictures, because I was basically running for my life. Oh yea, and it all took place in the middle of a busy street at night time.
- We have done four one-day bible schools, two eyeglass clinics, and about a million church services.
- I went to Managua Friday night with a bunch of the Nicaraguans to pick up the group that came in from Indiana.
- I moved back to my hotel after only 3 nights at the fancy hotel. Everybody changed hotels. Long story, but it worked out REALLY well.
- I am leaving in two days and as usual, have mixed emotions about it. I have absolutely fallen in love all over again with this place, and am really starting to wonder where God´s taking me. Sure, I´ll be happy to have warm water again, but I really am starting to question the way I´ve been living my life in a lot of ways and how much happier I seem to be when things are simple. Í don´t know why it´s taken me six years..
Updates soon, promise!!!

That bull thing sounds like the scariest thing ever!!
What do you do at an eye glass clinic? Was that hard to translate?
Sounds like fun, the bull thing. I have heard of people doing stuff to cows where they lift their tail up and stick a bottle roc... nevermind.
I live in Alabama...
