Ballin’ in Granada, and watching my diet

Played some ball yesterday with my spanish teacher at one of the courts in Granada. I loved it. It’s always fun to find a court with no one you know, and just ball. It’s even cooler when no one speaks your language… and you just know they are talking crap about you.

This morning three of my good friends from school (Terry, Marissa, and John) left town. The rest of my friends are out of town for the weekend. I enjoy all of the stuff we get to do together, but I’m glad to have a slow weekend where I can spend some alone time too. Semi alone. If you didn’t already know, that’s my main reason for this trip. To get away and spend some time with Jesus. There’s a lot of noise in Texas, I needed somewhere quiet to get away, so I came down here.

San Juan del Sur, Carita Feliz

We have gone to Carita Feliz twice this past week, and plan on going again a few times this next week. I want to have some afternoons where all I do is chill though. I didn’t plan on being so busy while I was here, but it’s cool to have stuff to do. The first time we went to CF the children were real shy, but Thursday we were welcomed with the kid’s spanish-accented voices: “We waiting for you!”

La Misa

Wow…

Its only been 3 days here in Nic, unbelievable. I expected to be spending all my time alone, but so far Ive really only had a couple hours solomente. Looking forward to some quiet afternoons during the school week. Speaking of the week, we (as in Jennie and I, oh Jennie is a Canadian friend and most importantly, a great source of Christian fellowship…) found a place called Calita Feliz. Its a school for the poor children in this community. I cant explain how great the place is. When I was there on Friday I wanted to call home and just tell everyone I know to send money. They are really doing some great things there. I am going to teach english, and futbol y beisbol. Soccer and baseball.
