4 separate bus rides, 3 days, 8 hours at the Honduran/Nicaraguan border, the favor of God and great Spanish speakers later Holy Banditz and Remnant hit Granada, Nicaragua on August 2.

We are still getting settled in – to our dorm home, to our city and to several different ministry options for the month (including feeding programs, nursing homes, visiting the dump, helping at different schools).

Over the past couple of days I’ve been writing down some of my random, silly little thoughts. I thought I would let you into my crazy cranium!

I’m amused by the chickens and frogs in the kitchen.
Today I “petted” an African turtle in Nicaragua.
I cook for 14 people now. What?!?! Really?!?!
Getting ready in the morning consists of: washing my face, brushing my teeth and an application of deodorant.
It’s August already?!
I’m so lucky that this is my life.
I love hammocks.
Air conditioning is a luxury.
I love being a regular at the market – yep, I already have my fruit/veggie lady for the month – Maria.
Cab ride for 50 cents – yes please!

I am absolutely thrilled about our time in Nicaragua!
