how I get around


In the morning I am fortunate enough to have found a driver who picks me up at 5:30am and takes me to work so I make it to work on time. In the afternoon after school I take public transportation home to save money. Here are some pictures of just how full the buses and the subway are in the afternoon, these pictures are really how full it is. It take me between and hour and an hour and a half to get from the school to my house in the afternoon. (I did not take these pictures I found them through google searches).



the video entitled Venezuela is one I made when I was student teaching two years ago. The second video called part 2 is one I made using a video the school had a few months ago. enjoy them.

this is a video I made just a little while ago. I took a video the school had and added to it. I hope you enjoy it.

what does a typical day look like for you?

Typical Day in my life in Caracas (typical week day that is)

4:30am Wake up
5:30 leave for work
6:00 start working for the day
8:00 classes start with the preschool
3:00 head to the gym take a bus, the subway, and another bus to get there
4:00 arrive at gym
6:00pm get home shower and get ready to go
7:30 Bible study, or worship practice or hang out with Diego or friends
10:00 get home and go to bed

as you can see life is very busy. But very blessed. I know God has called me to this place at this time. Everyday I see God at work in different ways here. I will write other blogs with more stories and such so this one is not too long.

If you would like to financially support me that would be awesome. I am currently trying to raise $600 a month to help cover living and traveling expenses. So far I have about $50 a month support. please please I need your help. I know God has called me here and I know he will provide. I am also praying and working on getting a different type of visa so I don't have to travel every 90 days. All that traveling really adds up and when I get paid 5 times less than a teacher in the states and cost of living in 15% higher in Venezuela you can see why I need to raise support. thanks so much, I hate talking money but as my pastor said people need details we need to pray in details so we can see God at work. well here are my details I need $600 a month. Would you be willing to commit to support me $20 or $30 or $100a month? on the side is a link to the nics page where you can make a donation or set up to make a donation each month. God bless you! thanks so much for all your prayers I need them!
