Semana 4

another week, another cordoba, as the saying goes... Things feeling pretty normal here, i already feel as if this is home. This week is really busy everyday as we really starting getting into things: working on our youth group project, observing english classes at the secondary school(instituto), 6 hours of spanish a day, homework, and then traveling to other cities for training 2 days a week. My family is great, My "parents" are more like grandparents, they are in their 60s. They are really good at talking slow enough so I can understand while still talking about complex things. I sit and talk to my father on the front step a lot. Hes got lots of time to talk to me because hes retired and he tells me about the history and different time periods in nicaragua, the politics, whatever. Last weekend when Jenny came to visit he took out his guitar and played a little for us while it was pouring outside. At the end of this week is the big volunteer visit. Jenny and I get to go visit another volunteer together somewhere in the country. We dont find out till friday where that will be though.

As for my parents, i dunno if you have tried to call me again, i know the phone works cause it rings often, but it is located in the shop so let it ring a lot. If it still doesnt work, I will give you Jennys families number because i know that works, and i will be there this weekend some, so you could call me there.
