Jammin with Courtz


So we had a fantastically fun night with Courtz. The shrimp were huge! And muy delicioso. Courtz is an amazing singer/guitar player. So we had a jam session. She got me to sing a couple of songs!!!! Crazy. lol. And one time she had me singing over Skype for her friend Bianca. It was super stressful haha. Trying to come out of my shell more though. We were out on the veranda. And we got to see this gorgeous sunset! So many beautiful things here.
Jehovah is such a loving God to give us the joy of sight, taste... I could do without the smell here though. lol. It typically reeks of dying things (seafood, animals, general waste, etc...). Just when I think I'm getting used to it, a gust of wind proves me totally wrong.

Maria's Party

So on Friday little Maria that had caught Dengue Fever had a spur of the moment party on a rooftop nearby. I had been very irresponsible and got myself severly sunburned that day
 So I was not in any mood to dance the night away sweating on top of the gnarly burn I had. But for such a brave little friend, I stuck it out. And I'm so glad that I did. It was so much fun!
She looked so cute in her brand new outfit. You could hardly tell that she had been sick at all!
 The whole congregation was invited. Although, because it was such short notice, not everyone was able to come. So I heard that there might be another one very shortly ;) The love in the congregation here is so beautiful. I was dragged out onto the dance floor three times. My good little cleaning partner from the assembly, Jonathan, was one of my dance partners. He just laughed at me. Then the other two times our friend Stephania tried to teach me some moves. Once I started to feel like I was getting whatever move she was doing she changed it! lol. I was hopelessly lost. Kel was way more into it than I was. Her and our friend Emery (another one from Georgia, US) were having a great time solo dancing together.
 Then... they broke out into the Macarena! So of course Kel and I jumped in for that! There may or may not be photographic evidence of that particular event. I'm not sure where it would show up. It unfortunately would not be on me or Kel's camera...
