Our 60 guests!!! and A horrible bug

These first pictures are NOT our house, but...

It is owned by a Nicaraguan couple here. They have asked us to take care of it while they are in the U.S. until May. We are trying to decide if we should move over there or not. The house where we are living right now is still under contract til April in the name of the couple that was here before us. So we have to figure out what is best. Anyone interested in caretaking a beautiful home in Nicaragua!!!

These are pictures of some of some members of the congregation. The man with the horse works his farm 6 days a week, he has coffee and corn and beans. Shane has asked to ride their horses but they all have said they are too small and old to carry him...I think he is sad about that.

Here are some of the shots in our house last Sunday when the group of 60 came from Managua. These were taken at lunch time. It cracked me up when I found some of them sleeping on the porch!

And a few shots of the town.

The cyber where I am right this minute!!!

And a baptized sisters house. Its a colonial style and very pretty

Also here is the promised Picture of Shane and me in traditional dress. Its not as good as matching tigger tee shirts, some might say, but for the first time since we have been here someone might actually mistake us for real nicaraguans. Maybe…

Last week they fumigated our house. A man in sky blue scrubs and a respirator come in with what looks like a leaf blower attached to a giant gas tank and hoses down the house with diesel fumes. Some bugs start dropping dead immediately. Other hardy ones run for fresh air. We sat outside on the back porch and stomped the cockroaches as they were fleeing for their life. Sometimes it took two stomps. They are really tough critters. Anyway, after all the fun and the smoke clears out, we went back in and this was laying on the floor. It was almost the size of my palm with its legs and creepy clawlike things fully extended. It was still alive. We let it go outside. I am not sure what happened to it. I hope we put it far enough away from the house that it didnt just run right back in.
