A few more pictures for you to look over...
Well, I was really looking forward to trekking to the campo on a dirt-bike and crossing a river to visit that sister, but I have come down with a cold and, the rain being the way it is, decided against it. However, next time the brother goes, I will go too.
Anyway, the days here have been kind of stressful and lazy at the same time. Stressful, because we had some things for the house that we still had to take care of, but lazy because there was nothing we could do for the present. I will explain a little bit more after some of these pictures.
You might remember I told you that our house was a horrid Pepto-Bismol pink and a yucky crayon-blue that defied all human decency. Well, with the help of some brothers and also some long days by ourselves, we finally got it presentable. Here are some pictures:
This is what most Nicaraguans wash their clothes with. I remember Daniel back home telling us that we would need to use this, and laughed at us. 
Um, well, we are not THAT into self-sacrificing, so we got this:
This was one of the things, though, that wouldn’t work for a while, and so we could not wash clothes until just very recently. That definitely added a lot to the stress, but it’s now working. Unfortunately, because of the high humidity, our clothes don’t really dry, so we have to bring them in the house and put the fans on them.
This picture is just a taste of what it’s like outside when it rains. Our street turns into a miniature river.
And, finally, this is our new Kingdom Hall, which is actually quite beautiful and it’s only about 3 years old. There is usually a nice cross-breeze and with the fans going, it’s not bad. 
Well, that’s all for now, but we will write again next week and share some nice experiences and pictures of our time in the ministry.
We love you guys a ton and your e-mails and comments have been very encouraging. Even after only a short time here, we have had a few occasional bouts of homesickness and near hysteria, but we have been told that it is a normal part of moving to a new land. And we are really enjoying this new avenue of service opened up to us, and we pray to Jehovah that we can be useful here and help others to draw close to our wonderful God.
Hasta luego!!

Ally saw the picture of the pepto-pink house and decreed that "we should go there later". Anyway, take a few more pics of the house!
The climate must suit you because your not looking as swollen as you did when you were here and that just a little while ago!
Love you guys! How's Marlene's fingers? No picture of that?
Hey guys:
Love your house. I especially like your washing machine. I just wanted to tell you guys that the Pioneer Meeting was awesome! So many encouraging points. We were told that our job is to encourage and work with the brothers as a team, to go out on service with them not with a pioneer partner. There was a demostration on how to conduct study with el libro Ensena and to make use of the questions in the beginning and at the end. We really loved it. The Assembly was very Uplifting! We were dead tired. The Sedano's stayed with us over the weekend. My Dan hardly listened to anything since he was working on the escalators and outside the eating area. One of the people at the Convention Center really emphazised and was very grateful for the work that the brothers did. She said that when other reliogions have their meetings there they can hardly wait until they leave, in our case they enjoyed us there and looked forward to having us there again. She said you guys are very organized. I have a lot of thing to tell you guys. Write to you soon. We missssss both of you veryyy much! Love Yo- Gia y mi Feo Daniel.
