No Comprende.

we are all settled in to our host home, without incident.

The houses here are... interesting.

You can pretty much see daylight through cracks betweem where the roof and walls meet up. Our shower is is a concrete stall with a glorified sort of spigot scenario. No hot water. (not that anyone in their right mind would take a hot shower... it was 100 degrees today, with, I don´t know, about ONE THOUSAND percent humidity. I went to bed sweating and haven´t stopped since!

Inez and Carlo, our host, are really nice people though. We like them a lot. We think. They speak ZILCH ENGLISH which isn´t a big deal, in theory, but when you are living in a strangers home, and you can´t communicate a thing, it´s pretty interesting.

We a arrived just in time for the national celebration of independence, that´s tomorrow, and possibly tuesday? I couldn´t get a clear translation on inez´s comments on the whole shenanigan. haha.

oh boy.

this is an adventure.

:) YES (for humidity) and the fact that you're there. And the fact that your host family doesn't speak any english. You'll be fluent in like...1 minute or less.

So based on our conversation the other day before you left I thought I would leave you this little tid bit...Psa 1:3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.
I love you and I pray that you are finding what you have needed in this time of your life and relationship with God. I believe this is a new season for you and I am excited to see the "fruit" god brings out of you...That sounds really churchy huh? :) Oh well Love you
