Nothing very exciting or new to report. I am still alive and well. Just working for the last few weeks here in Jinotega.
This week we had visit from Maria (our SST leader). It was GREAT to see her again and it made me really excited to get back together with the group. At the same time it made me realize how quick time has gone here and how sad I am going to be to leave this family. I have been VERY fortunate to have two amazingly great families. I don't think I could have had a better SST experience, but we'll save all that reflecting for later : )
Another thing that I have been very thankful for is that I have remained healthy through this whole experience (knock on wood...) But I am thankful for my strong stomach and great health so far.
Living with Lindsey has also been quite the blessing. I think I would be rather lonely without her. We always are laughing about something and always are having a good time with our family. I have really appreciated getting to know her better through this whole experience.
This week is already halfway over and then we have one more full week of work, then a half a week. Then we are traveling back to Jinotepe. 2 weeks to go. And 20 days until I am back in the states! I am excited, but sad as well, to leave everyone behind here in Nicaragua. Oh the bittersweetness (?) of it all.
Anyway, all is well here. And I will be home before you know it. July 29th! See you soon.
Buenos Noches!

Even if you don't have much to say, just keep posting. Love you hear from you!
It seems like you've been gone a long time Ali! But we are so thankful that the experience has been positive except for the rod on the back of the head! She was probably jealous of the blond hair! what can we say! She could color it like I do!
Nothing new except that we are now homeless living with mom and dad. :) We start building our house in a few weeks, can't wait
