-Took more taxis this month than I ever have in my entire life
-Was ecstatic that I could buy 6 bananas for 45 cents

-Had avocados fall from the sky
-Fall in love with pupsas and I will make them often when I get home

(Throw back days live on in El Salvador!)
-Thoroughly appreciated have a washing machine

-Really enjoyed getting up in the morning and running into the sunrise
-Missed my fiancé.

-Our church, Compass International Ministries, was very charismatic and I want to find one similar to it in the States when I get home. (AND!! THEY HAD AIR CONDITIONING!! WHAAA WHAT!!!)
-Chili lime covered peanuts are yummy
-Was on a constant/bi polar roller coaster this month. One day, I am cussing, hating life and wanting nothing else but to go home….then the next day, I am desperate to be on the Race and yearning for the Lord. It was a wild ride and would not have survived if it was not for my team and the Lord perusing me.

-El Salvador has more graffiti in one section of town than all of Atlanta…I’m convinced.
-Perplexed that Central America has some of the most elaborate Star Bucks I’ve ever seen! (good thing I don’t drink coffee! Geeze!)
-Celebrated Valentines Day with HOPAC cerebral palsy patients and piñatas!
