Hey again! I'm still hoping to get one more update out this weekend before we head to Panama, but since I have some free time on the computer I'm going to take advantage of it.
We have our grammar test tomorrow morning and then we give our creative presentations of everything we've learned and experienced so far on Friday. Then we have the weekend to hang out and pack. On Saturday, I'm going to go with some friends to a country club that Elizabeth's host family is taking us to. (Elizabeth is the only other Northwestern student here.) Then, I'll pack on Sunday. Actually, I've been wanting to pack for a while now, so waiting till Sunday just might kill me.
An update on the money situation: everyone received an extra ten dollars from the program as compensation for all the transportation costs we incur, so I'm doing a little better financially. However, it's still going to be tight.
Everyone here is pretty stressed out and nervous about going to Nicaragua and contracting scabies and lice, so if you could all pray that we handle it as well as we can, that'd be great. Also, we're going to be spending six days (five nights) on the islands with host families. We'll be sleeping in hammocks and using outhouses that are just shacks at the ends of docks. But the biggest worry is that we'll do nothing but sit all day and be really bored and therefore the time will drag by. So if you could also pray that our week there is amazing so we don't get so anxious to be home, that would be appreciated as well. Ok, well that's all for now. I'll let you know about Panama in my last blog! Love you!
