Well, I have completed a month here and I am still alive. This week was kind of rough as far a being homesick goes. I was doing really good at focusing on one day at a time, but i realized that this week I had been saying the words "Jesus get me through this day, I need your strength" but I wasn't really believing that he is all I need. However, I feel like I have gotten back on track. Keep praying for me guys!
I have one more week of "core seminar" and then we all go to Nicaragua for a week. Nicaragua will be more rural and the families will be poorer. We will each be living with our own family just doing what they do for those 10 days. I'm nervous and excited. From what I hear, their life is a lot more simple so it may involve a lot of just sitting around, which will actually be really challenging for me. After Nicaragua we have fall break and then our schedules change up a bit. Its good to have changes in schedule so that I have little goals to look forward to.
For your viewing pleasure, I included this picture of about half our group when we went to visit the ruins of the first Spanish colony in Costa Rica
