Spring Break

Well, the week before Spring Break...Lucy said she had to go home for some family matters so we didn't meet. I was suppose to meet her yesturday, but she didn't show up. Hopefully, everything is ok and she will be meeting with me tomorrow.
I guess I just wanted to share a brief expereince with everyone. This past week, I was on a Mission Trip in Nicaragua. This wasn't my first time there, but it's always an expereince to remember. I recommend everyone to travel to a third world country and see how other are living. The community that I volunteer at was very poor, but always so happy and cheerful. I heard that a family of ten can survive on two dollars a day! It makes me think of all the things that I take for granted here in the states. These people were very self-sufficient and super friendly. I love being there away from materialistic world. The first time I went to Nicaragua on a Mission Trip was last Spring Break and ever since, it has been a life-changing experience. I love the little children who are so welcoming and full of patience with my basic Spanish. Also, if anybody is ever interested in donating to this community, let me know!!!
