Quick and Dirty

I only have 9 minutes remaining on my internet time so this is going to have to be quick. I made it safely to Nicaragua and have spent the last 3 days at a very helpful orientation retreat in Managua getting introduced to my coworkers and taking care of preparations for the three months of training which I oficially start tomorrow. It is ridiculously hot here, but the pace at mid day makes up for it.
Yesterday I officialy moved in with my Nicaraguan family with whom I will stay for the next 11 weeks while I try to learn Spanish and how to grow food in a tropical climate. My host father is the pastor at the local Baptist church and along with his wife Eufemia there are three kids aged 15 to 21 and Eufemia´s niece Marcia living in the house. It´s about a 15 minute 20 cordoba ride to the internet from the house in the Masaya department of Nicaragua, so I don´t know how often I´ll be updating. However, I´d just like to let everyone know that I´m safe and in an extremely (almost alarmingly so) welcoming community that is as excited to get to know me as I am to get to know them. I hope everyone is doing well and feel free to either comment your questions on here or drop me an email and I´ll try to respond next time I make it here.

Hasta entonces,
Kyle
