Greetings from Nicaragua!


Hi everyone. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post anything. I have lived in Nicaragua for over a month and I haven't found time to tell everyone about what is happening here. But I have been hounded and pressured and Sarah has designed this oh-so-cute blog for me. So, I will be sharing at least one post with all of you. (But honestly, it has taken me this long to post something - do you really think you'll be getting many more from me? I really will try though).

Things are going well here. I am busy with teaching and hardly have time for anything else. We have a big holiday coming up here (Independence Day celebration begins Friday and then we have Monday through Wednesday off next week). I am looking forward to a break from school already.

Last week I did go to San Juan del Sur with my roommate and another teacher from NCA. So it hasn't been all work. I hardly feel like I'm in another country because my life has consisted mostly of school and home. The beach was so nice and relaxing that I felt like I spent 3 nights there instead of just one.

So here are a few pics from my time here for all of you dying to see some.

My awesome brother-in-law Steven came to visit during the 2nd week of school.

My Kindergarten class. Aren't they precious?
Those are a few things that have been going on during my time here. I will try to post again. I miss you all terribly and I hope things are going well for you.

Love,
Emily

    Awww...Em, that was fantastic!! I think you're a natural born blogger, that's what I think:)

    It was so good to see your smiling face in the pictures! You don't feel so far away, and I'm glad to see you're fitting a little bit of fun in too:)

    Your class is precious, I'll be praying for them too. Love you and miss you!

My Last Post Before Christmas

Hi everyone. This will probably be my last post before I leave for Christmas break on December 16th. I will be home for 2 1/2 weeks. I'm so excited! I'm looking forward to a break. Things here are going well. Over the weekend I went to a beach south of Managua. I was able to watch a sea turtle lay eggs. It was a once in a lifetime experience. In January the eggs will be hatching, so I may go back to see that. This weekend I also went to an orphanage about 30 minutes from my house. The name of the orphanage is House of Hope. I have visited there several times. There are 12 children that live in the home and 5 little ones there that need lots of love and care. The children are Miskito and are from the Atlantic coast. I think they will be tri-lingual kids...speaking Miskito, Spanish and English. They are precious. The woman who runs the home has gone to the Atlantic coast this week to bring 2 more children back. One of the boys will be up for adoption. The children that now l...

Hi from Nicaragua!

Hi Everyone! I have proven to be a bad blogger - what a surprise! I was hoping to blog once a month, but even that seems to be too much for me to handle. I think my problem is that I don't think anything has been happening here that is really blogworthy. We are out of school this week for Holy Week. I will be going to the beach on Tuesday and coming back on Saturday...so I'm excited about the fun week ahead! Things here have been going fine. School is almost out for the summer. I can't believe how the school year has flown by. My little angels have improved this year in English and it's fun to watch them grow and change. I have been able to visit the children's home in El Crucero several times this semester. I always enjoy visiting the kids. They're so precious. I was also able to fly to Dallas for my cousin's wedding and surprise my whole family. That was so fun. It was only for a few days, but I had a blast seeing everyone and getting to go to the wedd...
