I know it´s been awhile!

Hello friends and family! Well it sure is a goregous sunset here in nica....I went the the english assembly and that was a blast, just sat and sun but that was very nice. The assembly hall is located in Ticuantepe which is really close to Managua...they just put in this brand new museum for visitors to tour when they visit the branch and assembly hall which are all located in the same spot. It´s super neat all about the spiritual history and bringing the truth to Nica...they have a video too it talks about how in the 70´s n 80´s all the issues they had with the wars and getting literature in the country for the brothers and sisters...pretty amazing.....one family from costa rica were in charge with bringing the assembly outline and getting it across the border into nica...how´d they do it well while the soldiers were going through their car...their little girl was playing with a misquito net...they told her to play with it and in her backpack was the outline.....so while she was busy playing and the soldiers searching the car....they didnt think twice about checking the little girls backpack and after they found nada in the car they all hopped back in the car and entered nica with the outline...Mission accomplished! I liked that one. I also have other news I just conducted my first two biblestudies in spanish!!! That was nerve racking but i had help the brother that was with me and Jehova. The first study is Myra....she owns a pulperia or little store in her house and has some interesting questions and requests....well for example when we ended the study and i asked Giovanni the brother to close in prayer....she asked if she could pray..yea...so fortunatly the brother, though caught off guard was able explain a bit and me a tad....but we had to leave we had another bible study to conduct and the it´s a lond way back home .....45 minute walk depending on the weather and mud....man is it gorgeous though. She also had some serious questions about the holy spirit....but we had to get going so we wont see her this week cuz she will be gone but we will see her the following week and so ive got a lot to study for and glad i have plenty of time to do so! The other studies is Catarina and Jessica...one is i think 8 or 9 yrs old and the other munchkin is like 5 or 6 suuuppper cute girls and big sis can read good and loud, I asked her to read the story about the giantes in the bible story book and thinking id have her read a paragraph or two but lil sis took off i didnt want to stop her, i was very impressed and so she read the whole story...loud and well...very sharp lil girl and lil sis too....oh by the way everyone me and cayli kinda have a dog now he´s a cutie n dirty longish hair white and black spots....were buying him some flea medicine......mom can i bring him home hehe jk oh we now have a new fridge and toster oven........tonight we use it! Well soon im going to take the time to download pictures sorry for the delay....love everyone and TTFN

Hi Chekka, it is Auntie Missi and Makani and Jordan, we wanted to say hi and we love you. Jordan says good luck pioneering, and Makani says that he misses you. We had your mom and dad for Turkey dinner last night! It was good but would have been better if you had been there! Your dad almost fell into a turkey coma in my recliner! Love you baby!
