On Saturday we are all heading out for our different service locations. This means that we are half way through our SST experience. The time has absolutely flown by.
Tomorrow we have a spanish final exam and and oral presenation, both are a major part of our final grades so that´s a little nerve racking, but when it´s over I will be celebrating the end of the school term. I am thankful for all the spanish I have learned over the past 6 weeks, but it has been stressful as well.
Tomorrow evening we are throwing a party for all of our families here in Jinotepe. That will be exciting. Each spanish class (there are 3 classes) will sing a native spanish song and the families will vote for the best one. We will also have dinner and just enjoy eachother´s company on our last night here in Jinotepe. It will be sad to say bye to my host family here. Especially because we still haven´t heard much about our new host families so it´s a little nerve racking not knowing what to expect. On saturday, Lindsey and I will be leaving Jinotepe at 7am and getting on a bus to Managua. In Managua we will change busses and start out on our 3 hour journey north. And then finally reach our destination and find out for ourselves what Jinotega is really like. The suspense makes me a bit nervous, but excited at the same time!
Well, I have to get to a basketball game. Some of the women of the SST group are playing a local high school team here. We´ll see how that goes since there are about 2 of us who played in high school, oh, and did I mention that I only played JV? ha.
Adios for now!
Miss you all.
P.S. Congrats Katy and Jacob! I can´t wait to come home and see little baby Tristan!

I'm sure you kicked butt at that game - you played Varsity too! :)
Can't wait to hear more about your next location when you arrive!
Have fun Alli!
Love you kiddo! Have a great time and hope you enjoy your next family as much as the one you just left! We'll be praying for you!
