Haha, blanco, blanco, blanco!!!! (White)

In Nicaragua, it's HOT! No, really, it's HOTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! And humid, and there are lots of bugs, and creepy Nicaraguan guys, crazy Nicaraguan drivers who go 75 mph in a rural area and drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid traffic........... and use their horns way too much! Despite all that, I feel like I will never want to leave here... the palm trees, colorful birds, and AMAZING food makes it all worthwhile... not to mention ministering to little Nicaraguan children who mob you and hug you endlessly (while others laugh at you saying "Blanco! Blanco! Blanco!") Some will ramble on to you in spanish even after you patiently explain that you only speak "Un poco espanol" (a little spanish). They don't care, you are different, and strange, and someone to talk to. On the first day we were here, we went to McDonalds............. yeaaaah............ I was sitting by the window, and a little Nicaraguan boy we estimated to be 8 or 9 was standing outside, leaning against the glass. He looked right at me, and beckoned to me with two fingers, wiggling his eyebrows......... scary! We are a spectacle here.... after the service Tuesday night, half the people were standing around taking pictures of us with their camera phones. ---This is Julia's that she can continue later

We have been incredibly busy.  We will post when we can.  Today (saturday) we will be going to do a kids rally, the market this afternoon, followed by a youth service tonight where Will is going to be preaching.  Everyone is safe and healthy.  Love to all.  --Jill
