respect for my cleaning lady (nadege).
Yes i said it. I do have a cleaning lady, for those that didn't know that. she just had a baby this past weekend so i will be on my own for about a month or so. so this morning i decided to do some laundry and wash some dishes that were piling up.
It took me about 20 minutes to wash all the dishes, and it took me forever to figure out how to use the washing machine! I even had to call the family who's house this is and ask for help. But to my defense, this washing machine is really old and i thought i was going to break it if i "pulled up" on the button to start the water... needless to say... i have clean clothes now and clean dishes...and also a newfound respect for Nadege who does this twice a week for me..

i'm back!
hey everyone. I know it's been quite some time since i've been on here. I apologize.. so much has happened since the last time i've blogged, which was way before Christmas. A lot of cool stuff has happened that i will try to catch you all up on in the future. but for this first one, i just feel like sharing just a bunch of random things that you may or may not care about!
Rain: It has been raining non stop the last few days. i mean literally non stop. today was the first day in a while where it has only rained in the evening. i woke up tuesday morning to a flooded back room where the family who lives here keeps all their ministry stuff. there's a big crack in the ceiling and water was coming in all day, and i hardly ever go back there so i didn't even know. let me tell you.. boy was it fun trying to soak all of the water up with towels, and then rinsing it into a bucket. apparently a worker is supposed to come tomorrow to fix the ceiling.. but who knows if that will happen.
Cereal: I thank God for cereal. i just recently started eating cereal. I didn't eat cereal for the first 8 months here bc i thought the milk here was nasty... but it's growing on me, and now that's all i want to eat is cereal. I'm able to get some kellog's brands like back home...but still haven't found any cinnamon toast crunch!
mi amigo ronaldo: I have been hanging out a lot lately with my friend ronnie and his family. i go over to his house to eat dinner at least 3-4 times a week. i am getting more and more comfortable with his family, and it is also great practice speaking spanish with them. he also has cable so i am able to watch tv... in english too!
