QUICK update

soo we´re in Monteverde still on our little break from everything and it has been pretty fun. last night we went on a night tour and got to see some cool and disgusting things. our guide´s name was andres and he was initially gonna do our tour in english but we asked him to do it in spanish. and i have to say, hes one of the easiest people every to understand in spanish so it wasnt any trouble at all keeping up.

My dad and i went zip lining today which was pretty scary, im not gonna lie. We also did this Tarzan jump\swing thing which was amazing. i told the guide though that he was gonna have to push my off though or i probably wasnt going to be able to do it. haha. the guides were all VERY nice and VERY cute so that was good. We got lots of pictures and even videos of my dad and i doing the Tarzan swing so ill be excited to show everybody! haha.

heres how things are looking for now. tomorrow we leave really early to take my dad to the airport to head back to GA. then daniel, the pastor at los guido´s son, is coming to pick megan i up in time to go to the church service. we´re gonna spend sunday night and monday in los guido and then we leave EARLYYY in the morning to go on the trip with the pastor and his family. megan and i are both soo nervous but SOO EXCITED! i know this is going to be totally out of my comfort zone and that im gonna have to use my spanish A LOT but im soo glad to get to do that and to get to know the pastor and his family more!

we will get back from the family trip sometime on friday and spend saturday and sunday at los guido, helping with the kids program on saturday and going to the church service on sunday. THENN as of now we´re going to spend the next week in the school for kids with disabilities. and we´re at least gonna start in the school for kids with Down syndrome and autism. im SO excited to go here. we visited on friday before we left for monteverde and it just looks like such an amazing school that really cares about the students and helping them learn.

i think the plan is to spend every weekend at los guido helping with the kids program and going to the service. as of now, its my hope to spend our last week in los guido too, but we´re gonna wait and see how we like the school first.

okay, we´re in a bad internet cafe now so i think im gonna go.

miss you all!
