Greetings to all my dear friends and family wherever
you are today. Time has a way of getting away for me and it is once again time
for an update to all of you to let you all know about the work that is
continuing on here in Nicaragua. Each day gives us new challenges and new
adventures.
The 3rd & 4th week of school
went very good and I am enjoying learning new words day by day. Some days can
be kinda trying but I am trying to make the best out of each class. My teacher
has me taking a Scripture passage and explaining it to her each day. Some days
I feel so insufficient because I know what I want to say in English but I am
not sure how to translate it correctly to Spanish. Classes are going pretty
good even though we get interrupted time and time again by the handicap
children/adults from Los Pipitos.

| Sylvia and I |
Each day Sylvia comes to see me in class.
Today she finally left me take her picture.
Each day I wonder what will happen to each of these people there. All of
them have some type of handicap. I love all of them so much and I know I will
leave part of my heart there when I leave. They all have a small part in my
heart. I make it a part of day to try and talk to some of them when I see them.
I enjoy trying to talk to each of them. They told me that when I didn’t come to
school last week, Sylvia asked about me every day. When I came to school on
Monday, October 19th, and went to find, she got a huge grin on her
face.
On Saturday,
October 10th, I woke up with a severe headache and fever. After
talking to several people, we headed to the doctor. Due to it being Saturday,
they could not draw blood for testing till Monday, so they gave me medicine and
sent me home. I spent all morning and
part of the afternoon in bed. I woke up in the afternoon and felt slightly better.
Randy called and said that he had talked to Richard and they wondered if I
wanted to come home and spend the week recuperating in my own house. After
thinking it over, I decided it would be best to go home and try and get over
whatever it was. Jason and Virginia drove to Estelí to pick us up Saturday
afternoon. Till we got home Saturday night, my head was hurting pretty bad
again, but I went to bed and got a good night’s sleep. Sunday morning I felt
better but I was still lacking energy. I spent the week in El Terrero and got
my strength back. The week was very busy
and I went to bed most nights very, very tired. I enjoyed spending the week
there and am looking forward to going back there.
I enjoyed the break from school. I came back to Estelí
Monday morning refreshed ready to start the final 2 weeks. I am looking forward
to finish school and to get back to our house and start spending time with the
people there. I have attached a few pictures at the bottom. God bless each of
you and thank you for your prayers and support.
God bless and keep His protecting arm around you!!!
Adios!!
