After a week

SO... It has been a little more than a week since i left my house, and i have only been in Nicaragua for a week, and it feels like i have been here for months. THat is not a bad thing though. I have met some incredible people, and i think it feels like a long time because i feel like i know these people so well already. My family here is super sweet. Next door they have a pig who lives on the patio in the back. IT cracks me up. THe other day i saw someone walking her pig. I also saw my friend's host brother take a live chicken and put it in a bag and carry it to his friend´s house. I understand they probably don't take these animals out of hte house for fun, but it is definitely a different life style. IT is different, but i like it. It is much more relaxed. I think i am going to have a lot of work to do during training, but they prepare you well. I will put up pictures soon. Make sure you stay in touch! THnks to those who have already written to me.

Ha pasado un poco mas que una semana desde que me fui de casa, y solamente he estado en Nicaragua por una semana, y parece que haya estado aqui por meses. Pero , no es algo malo. He conocido mucha gente increible, y pienso que parece mucho tiempo porque parece que conozco a ellos muy bien ya. Mi familia aqui es muy amable. Los vecinos tienen un cerdo (un chancho?) que vive en el patio atras. Ayer vi a una mujer caminando con su cerdo. ME da risa. El otro dia el hermano de mi amigo puso una gallina viva en una bolsa para llevar a la casa de un amigo. ENtiendo que no hacen esto para divertirse, pero es una manera de vivir que es diferente. Me gusta, es muy tranquilo. Pienso que voy a tener mucho trabajo que hacer, pero nos preparan bien. VOy a poner mas fotos pronto. Quiero que me escriban!!! Y Gracias a todos que ya me han escrito!
