Never have I ever been a translator.. Good thing I took Spanish classes in middle and high school.
Never have I ever worn the same outfit 3 days in a row.. No shame. If they don't smell that bad, wear them again! And if they do, spray them with fabreez and then wear them again.
Never have I ever eaten the same meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner.. Beans, rice and Jesus Christ 🙂
Never have I ever eaten horse.. Who would have thought that burgers in Central America were made with horse meet?
Never have I ever thrown up on the side of a mountain.. I was so sick that day. Not my most graceful moment.
Never have I ever blown my nose in the bottom of my skirt.. Tissues are not readily available and my skirts are super long.
Never have I ever been so creative with my outfits.. With only three skirts and a handful of tops one gets creative. And turning skirts into dresses is actually like wearing something wonderfully new all together!
Never have I ever gone more than a week without a shower.. That's just plain gross and I hope that doesn't happen again.
Never have I ever enjoyed eating eggs.. actually, I still don't. I just thought I would add that one in for my mom's sake. Still don't like eggs mom!
Never have I ever washed kids feet and presented them with new shoes.. What a wonderful day that was!
Never have I ever made so many friends so fast.. I guess there is something neat about being friends with the American missionary. That and I am just that cool 🙂
Never have I ever fallen in love with so many countries and people.. I can't bear to leave at the end of each month. My heart is growing ever more in each country.
Never have I ever had so much black coffee.. How about that one Justin? And I quite enjoy it!
Never have I ever played so many games of hearts.. Sometimes that is all we do. And when we aren't playing hearts together, we are playing hearts on our computers in the presence of one another.. Never thought I would have that much down time.
Never have I ever gotten a piercing in a foreign country.. I got my nose pierced in Nicaragua 🙂
Never have I ever been so far away from home for so long.. I can't believe it has already been 3 months! I am about to head to Asia in a few days! WOW!
Never have I ever been so dirty all the time.. Is that a tan line or a dirt line? Even after the shower I look dirty. I have come to the conclusion that I may not be clean again until I get home.
Never have I ever felt as beautiful as I do now.. God has funny ways of showing things now that I am living with abandon.
Never have I ever hiked mountains every day.. I lived in the mountains of Rio Colorado, Honduras. There were times I was hiking miles every day. Some days, it was all up hill.. both ways.
Never have I ever slept in a hammock.. I sleep in my wonderful hammock with a bug net almost every night. I am like a baby in a nice big cradle.
Never have I ever had so many sodas out of glass bottles.. The plastic ones are so expensive! Well, not compared to the US.. but compared to the glass bottles, the plastic ones are much more expensive.
Never have I ever had a beverage from out of a bag.. Well, I still haven't, but I see so many people with them and I really want one. I'll have one coke in a bag please!
Never have my jeans ever been quite this big on me.. Yeah, I have lost about 20 pounds. That's pretty neat. I will need to go buy a new pair pants sometime soon 🙂
Never have I ever taken a bucket shower.. Not the most horrible thing in the world. Except that the bucket had a hole in the bottom, so half way through I ran out of water.
Never have I ever lived out of a backpack for so long.. And I have gotten quite good at getting that sucker all packed up and ready to go in less than an hour with everything fitting just right!
Never have I ever had an extensive list of things I want to eat when I get to the US.. We fly through Miami and LA in a few days on our way to Asia. I will be in LA for about 15 hours. Pleanty of time for all the food I am wanting to eat!
Never have I ever been to a foreign hospital.. I'm fine now. But I was nervous to be there, especially with a little 10-year-old boy translating for me. Awkward.
Never have I ever seen so many cows walking aimlessly about the streets of Honduras. One was standing outside the window of the house we are staying in our last day here at 6am moo-ing his heart out! That had a funny way of being incorporated into my dream..
Never have I ever had so many conversations solely in Spanish.. I really enjoy speaking and learning more in this language. I love it!
Never have I ever enjoyed my life as much as I am now..
Thank you for all your prayers and support! I am still $1,300 away from the deadline which is in a few days! Please consider supporting me if you are able and feel led. And please share my blog!
Much love from Honduras!
