Sept first month

Hey you all yea this blog thing has not been going very well... How did my first month go here? It was absolutely amazing! It flew by soo fast! Some highlights were visiting the children`s home, and visiting people.  We visit a lady named Luz who has a daughter that isn`t normal, and there is another elderly couple that we visit. They are as skinny as sticks, but are always praising God for everything. They had a really cute kitten, and they said they would give to us if we bought them some plastic for their roof. Then A few days later we got this adorable baby miniature poodle and named her Pepper. At first the two werent sure what they thought of each other. They still fight like cats and dogs but then the next min they are sleeping beside each other.😃The  first week was just getting settled in, then the next four weeks had school from 8 till 12 in the morning. I miss that, because I made a lot of friends on my half hour walk to school. My teacher loved showing me the different sights of the city down here. When giving directions, you go by the churches, so he took me to tour most of the Catholic churches in our area.  Some of them are absolutely beautiful! Then he would usually buy me a shaved ice or a popsicle. Also, he took me to the art museum. That was cool ...I went to my first vela, or wake... The second week I was down here, one of the girls that comes to church's grandpa died. He was kind of like a dad to her. That was a different experience. Everyone here spends like the whole night just sitting around outside... The third week here, I climbed my first volcano!  That was a lot of fun. I thought I was going to die on the first half, then it got a little easier.  It was sooo cloudy that we almost walked past the crater, but then when it cleared up, it was

absolutely amazing! We could see almost all of nicaragua from up there! One last highlight: Amber took me out to celebrate my last day of school! We went to a fancy resturant. It was really cool! The serving was huge, so we split the plate.

So that is basically what has happened since I've been down here. Please pray for the church here- it definitely could use it thank you all
