It's nice to know someone is out there.
One of the hardest things about being here so far is a great feeling of disconnect. I feel like I have been here for much more than three weeks. I have not been able to use fast Internet service so this is my first real chance to update my blog so I got a little picture happy. It made my day to see that three people were following my blog. Thank you Bro, Ben and Joe. Now I'm in much better spirits than when I walked into this cyber cafe. My time has been very productive though. I have installed eight permanent beds or 'camas'. We planted them in common red beans because covercrop varieties are nowhere to be found. I also measured out all the usable area with my new assistant Jimmy who is a real hard worker. It's me and him out at 6:00 a.m. to work in the coolest part of the day. Now to get started on the first of a few compost piles. Please pray that all goes well so that the locals will believe I actually know something. More importantly, please pray that I will show a good testimony under all circumstances--it can be trying at times.
God is good! I'm having the time of my life.
walking 100 yards to my work place!
teaching Nicaraguans to eat squash flowers
stuffed with cheese. They never knew what they were missing.
My most important assignment--Jimmy. God answers prayers.
A very sharp kid who gets into trouble for his very active behavior.
An excellent worker. Sometimes I don't know who is boss.
