Ok, we are back and in full force. We were having some technical difficulties uploading some new photos on the blog but I think we got the bugs worked out.

So, I would like to introduce our new roomate.....( drum roll please ) Alicia!!! Say hi everyone! We picked her up in Managua the night befor we had our english assembly and special meeting for forigneers here in Nicaragua. And she has been awesome ever since.

Here is an update of the places we have been / people we have seen / things we have done.

This is us in the tract work, Desiree ( the sister that stayed with us for a month ) Laura, Isaac and a sister from the mainland Teresa. We walked about half the island that morning and now we are waiting for the bus - which was CROWDED! But atleast we did'nt have to walk back.


Alot of times we have to have the meeting in the dark because the power will go out and we don't have light. So we will have a meeting by candle light. We have become experts at holding the bible, flipping pages in our book, and balancing a candle, all while not starting a fire.

Even though the construction is over on our new hall we have LOTS of work to do befor we can have a dedication. Just keeping the weeds pulled on our grass-less yard is a chore and a half. On this sunday afternoon we had a good turn out. 11 of us in total! I'll introduce everyone. From left to right.

Ok so I think that is all for tonight. I'll try to upload more again soon, like the english convention, climbing a volcano, and preaching on Little Corn Island. Much love to you all, thank you for keeping us in your prayers! - The Girls
