Okay, so perhaps the title of this blog is a little mean. =) I suppose I am rubbing it in just a little that we all got to go to an amazing beach in Limon last weekend and get a little tan. =) Lo siento. =)
But for real, the trip to Limon was amazing! We got to try a new version of Gallo Pinto, called "Rice and Beans". haha, yes, in english. =) and it was really good! i think it was similar to gallo pinto, but made with red beans and i think coconut. yeah, interesting. =) anways, the beach was awesome, i didnt get sunburned, praise the lord for that! =) And when we were leaving the beach (after 3 hours of playing in the ocean) we got to see tons of monkeys just chilling in the trees! Talk about amazing! Some people even got a little, um, "present" from the monkeys, which I must say makes a better story than getting pooped on by a bird. how dull. =)
I actually didnt go to dance class last wednesday, my host mom was in panama visiting my host dad (who is living and working there) and so my host bro and sisters and i all went to my older sister´s house for supper that night. But i think i might try going tonight, if i get some work done on my two essays that are due in the next two days! yikes! =)
Life continues to be very good here, we all really got to bond this weekend in Limon, which was really great! I got to spend some one on one time with a few new people, and found out there are a total of two other mennonites here! woo hoo, way to represent! =) it actually did make me happy to know that some people know im not amish. =) ha ha ha!
This weekend some of us are discussing the possibility of going to a volcano or possibly taking a whole weekend to head over to the pacific coast....ahh..yeah, both would be amazing =) after a crazy week of homework, we sort of feel like we deserve it! =)
I just want to continue to thank all of your for your amazing prayers! I have had some days where I have just had to make myself not think about home, or else I would just break down. The time is already flying by, so I am trying to just be here in this moment so that I dont miss out on what´s around me because I am too busy missing home. Dont get me wrong, I do miss you all like crazy and wish we could talk all the time! But, i know that it is better for me to try and just be as involved here as I can, because I will only be here for such a short time!
Know that I have been thinking about all of you, thank you for reading my blog and keeping me updated on your lives as well. =) In only 3 short months we will be reunited, and I know it will be amazing. =) I am keeping you in my heart and in my prayers everyday. You have helped make me who I am, and I just want to say thank you. =)
Con todo el amor en mi corazon,
Laura

Yes, you're right. You need to enjoy your time there! It will seem very short. Glad that you are getting to explore your area! Bekah is really missing you. When I told her about your concentrations and that you would be teaching there, she thought I meant permanently! That was quickly corrected! Love ya and miss ya, too. Bekah said, "Beans and rice at every meal?" I thought my menu was boring:)
Hahaha oh yes, beans and rice at every meal...tell bekah she is incredibly lucky!! =)
