Nicaragua Updates and News Week 2 Hey Everyone. I am doing great...my health has been a little poor. I have been quite sick but still working hard. Pray for my cold and sinus problems to disappear pronto. I finished working at the La Chureca Sight and on Sunday took a break around the house while all twelve of the people at the Manna Project House (www.mannaproject.org) went to Granada. It was quiet nice having some alone time and I even got to birth 10 puppies into the world that night, cutting their embilical cords and helping the mother rottwieler. ha...Im always getting into something. The Gang was stoked I had stayed behind and was able to help. The next day, I was actually very blessed to be taken an hour away to the beach to surf. It was the warmest water I have ever been in....Chest to Head high or bigger sets...breaking far out..I was on a borrowed board...and was with 5 novice riders...and we had a blast....I think its been awhile since I surfed for three hours straight and paddled into wave, after wave, after wave, after wave...with no one in the way.....The one thing the outer banks has taught me is to pull in fast and deal with speed and the dumping...ha..I guess thats what you call it...the beatings....ha. Some of the waves I was pulling into seemed big but were so easy to handle I was kinda wondering..um...what...thats all you got for me...ha. It was a great day :) Today I am going to paint a volunteer mural for the people at the house in Manna Project and then start a Tue, Thur, Friday class at the local elementary school. Not to mention that I have to Sketch out a mural for an after school program " El Ferito" little light house, and Mtn. Hermon School. Soo, I guess you can say I am very busy. The whole day of relaxing by any means has not happened...ha..But, I am so blessed by the kids, the people, the smiles. I miss everyone..love ya bunches. David Molnar has been updating my website and all my new photos and news are displayed on the front screen...please check it out. Talk to you soon. Also Nicaragua Myspace pictures are on page 5. God bless you dawn gray
