Red Lights are Optional

Hello everyone!! This is Kaleigh again. Well just letting you know that if you are not here on this trip you better plan on coming next time because it’s A-MAZING!! God is doing so many awesome things here, not only with getting things together but, in me as well. I can’t believe it is already Tuesday. Today I went into Managua to go shopping for supplies that we would need for our ladies tea (coffee). The ladies here in the community meet every Wednesday afternoon for a bible study, this week we are going to join and pamper the women. We have been working with the kids and rebuilding some homes that we wanted to make sure to make to get involved with the parents as well. Tomorrow we plan on painting nails and just making the women feel special. We also gathered a small gift for them of toothpaste, toothbrush, soap and some hair ties. I am very excited to interact with the women. Today I got to see some awesome sights and realized on the way home that I did have my camera in my purse. A little bummed but the bright side is we will be going on Friday so I can get pictures of them then. I was glad to just enjoy the moment and take time to realize where I am and what I am doing here. I got so see a volcano, a large statue of Jesus and the Virgin Mary, and a replica of the Mayan/Aztec temple. I was a little bit disappointed to see a McDonalds but I guess they are everywhere. Things I learned today: 1. Red lights are optional 2. We may see deer, raccoons, etc as road kill but here, dogs are the road kill 3. Honking means a number of things such as: move, hello or go. 4. Cars don’t watch out for you, you must watch out for them (or you may be the road kill). 5. Wal-mart is everywhere!! I thought those were pretty interesting. Well that was a lot of typing but that was a bit from my day. I hope everyone is doing well! Please continue to pray for everyone. Everyone is in good health and seems to be having an amazing time!!
