FULL WEEKEND

 I had a crazy weekend and just wanted to share with those of you always asking how my life is here.

Friday morning our landlord decided to fumigate our house.  So our neighbor came in at about 9 a.m. to spray poison all over the walls and baseboards which meant we and our little fur children had to get out pronto.  We decided to check out a new cafe that's opened up on Calle Xalteva about a block from us called Espressionista.  We were able to do informal witnessing and take advantage of their WiFi.  It really made for a nice, relaxing morning.

Watermelon and ginger granita--so refreshing

 Then on the way to the market later, I met this guy selling/eating this new fruit I discovered.  It's called caimito.  It looks like a plum on the outside but the inside is this gooey, furry I don't know what.  It's interesting.  I tried it--not my favorite fruit but not bad either.

Then on Saturday night, I invited a couple English families from the English congregation to eat frito with me after my meeting.  I like this picture because it shows the food well and shows the grill in the back how they're all made.  

Vic, Hattie, and Robin...from Manchester to Granada with love :)

On Sunday we had rural territory.  The meeting for service was at 6:30 am, we drove 45 minutes out to the territory in a bus and preached from 8:30 am until 4:30 pm.  Wow, what a day!

Cashew tree!! Look under the purple upside-down tulip and you'll see a green cashew growing

Finally, my weekend ended with a bang.  On Monday, Shelina and I went to Managua and saw Les Miserables!!!  In English!!!  We had sushi and miso soup for lunch at Sushiitto, saw the flick, and I even managed to sneak in an entire box of Cinnabons for friends.  Sometimes it really helps for people to assume you don't speak Spanish :)  Ahhh, foreign food and glutinous pastry.  

You see that glazed look in my eyes? That's sushi coma.

May I introduce the "Miss Nicaragua" roll
