I can't believe I (Ashley) have already been here two weeks! Time has absolutely been flying by - and every minute has been one I wont forget!
This morning we kicked off the day with breakfast and coffee - the BEST coffee I'v ever had! Don't worry, I'm leaving all of my clothes here and filling my bag with this coffee so you can all have some ;) So after breakfast we worked for hours taking pictures of the rest of the students in the secondary school for the cards that they are putting together. Bryan and Courtney had a lot of fun making faces to get the kids to smile :)
After taking hundreds of pictures we had lunch with the children and rested up for a bit. For lunch today we had beans and rice...JUST beans and rice! I'd never imagined how much I'd love just boiled beans and rice! Because oil is so cheap here the Nicaraguan people fry almost everything! To eat beans and rice that hadn't been fried was a nice change ;)
After lunch we got to work painting the Mission Center. It's amazing to think that just a few years ago when this school opened these rooms were used as classrooms! So much growth has taken place here, I can't even imagine the way it was before - with just dirt floors!
Well just finished up dinner (fried rice and vegetables :) and now we're heading to bed, another long day ahead of us tomorrow!
Miss you all so much! Stay tuned for more!
