Here we go!

-
Well here I am on the airplane getting ready to embark on a wild adventure. I kicked of the trip in total Sig fashion by Fallon over due to the grandiosity of my backpack right into the TSA man's podium and then as I finally got back on my feet and went for attempt two at crawling under the rope I knocked it over. I honestly felt like I was in a movie about a girl that is a total mid fit. It was hilarious. All that aside this is completely surreal. I am excited, scared, sad, and everything in between. I constantly have to remind myself that I have a protector unlike any other and I need to continue to trust him to keep the butterflies at bay. I know that tomorrow this time I will be in a foreign land by myself, but that really I am never left alone.

On a different note, i am feeling better little by little after the marathon. I finished and that in itself is a beautiful testament of Gods power. It was a wonderful learning experience and i couldn't have done it without the support of my friends and family.

Well we are about to take off! Please pray that I can not freak out and that things can go smoothly. I love all of you and will miss you SOOO much!

Standing in awe of his ability to overcome,

Sigourney

Spontaneous

One of my favorite things in life is being spontaneous.  Yesterday I got invited to go to a place called "Puerta del Diablo" which translates to "The Devil's Door."  After a long car ride, which for no real reason I found extremely fun, we arrived and it was beautiful.  There were street vendors all around selling "elote loco," or crazy corn, hand made crafts, and there were even carnival rides.  We climbed up on one side of the cliffs to take in our surroundings.  At the top I was talking with one of my friends Mari who has moved here from Ohio.  We were reminded of how huge God is and also had a moment of "wow, we live in Central America!" On the way down Kayla, Josue, and I decided to go on a zip line adventure!  It was a lot of fun and so spontaneous.  Below is a video of me flying away!     I think most of us would like to be more spontaneous.  There is something in us that makes us feel more alive when we are a...

This is not Easy

A lot of crappy things here happen on a daily basis, but recently a few things in particular have happened that I feel I simply can't remain silent about.  What sparked my desire to write this post happened about a week ago.  I think it was a Saturday and I got home to hear my host family talking about something they saw at the beach earlier that day.  I wasn't paying attention at first, but then I put the pieces together, and there were five people who got pulled out to sea with nothing but an inflatable and the sun was going down.  Ok so maybe the fact that there are strong rip tides here this shouldn't surprise me so much, but what really disturbed me was that everyone just assumed that they all drowned and no one seemed surprised.  Furthermore, they were saying that the people were foolish and should have known better. I don't know about you, but I am not a great swimmer.  Also, when you get pulled out you are suppose to swim parallel to shore not pe...

A day in the life

So I promise I will get back to my studies of the promises of God, but today was so uneventfully wonderful that I feel the need to tell you about it. Just like any other normal day I woke up to the birds chirping, the dogs barking, the neighbor girl crying, and cool air biting my toes.  One of my favorite parts of the day is heading downstairs bright and early to make my cup of coffee and return to the fresh air in my room to read and watch the sunrise all while savoring the first cup of coffee of the day.  As the rest of the inhabitants of the house begin to stir we quickly have breakfast and head down the mountain to start another day.  We first go into town to drop off Marielos at the market and the sound of buses and bells signaling fresh baked bread always brings a smile to my face.  Downtown is crawling with people coming into town with goods to sell and heading out of town to work as well as many locals stopping to have a cup of coffee with a friend.  ...
