Q: Hannah, what is the best part of living in Nicaragua?
A: I like that I have new friends, and the school is good. It makes me happy when I see the bright, colorful, cheerful views from Laguna de Apoyo.

Q: Spencer, How do you feel about living in Nicaragua?
A: When I actually understand what people are saying, they are super nice and polite to me. However, when my parents turn to me and ask, "What did he say?" it gets super frustrating. Nicaraguans speak Spanish very quickly and I don't always understand what they are saying.
Q: Hannah, is there anything you don't like about living in Nicaragua?
A: I am sad that my friends can't come see us. I miss them. I wish my Granny Kay could come with us. Also, it would be nice if my classroom had an air conditioner. It is SUPER hot here!
Q: Spencer, what are you unhappy about living in Nicaragua?
A: I am sad that my friends in Colorado miss me. I especially miss my closest friend, Kaleigh. But, one thing that brings a smile to my face is the writing on the desks as school. They say things like, "I love God" instead of bad words.
Q: Spencer, how have you seen God work since you've been in Nicaragua?
A: At Ignite last weekend, we went to a Nicaraguan family home with dirt floors and made of cinder blocks. With a translator, my dad and I talked to them, just getting to know them. Then, I used my special skills to chop wood for them. We plan to take some rice and beans back to the family this week, since most people eat gallo pinto each day. It was cool to spend time with them and get to know them. Hopefully, we'll get to talk them about Jesus soon.
Well, there is how an 11 year old and a 15 year old view their lives in Nicaragua!
