If you know me very well you understand (or at least are aware) that I love to hammock! Now when I say i love to hammock that doesn’t mean that I love to sit in hammocks (althought I do love that), what I mean is that I love to hang my hammock in random new places and take any chance I can get to hang it up (we’re talking buildings, trees, posts, mountains, boulders, ANYTHING)! It is actually a sport that Kyle Fish and I have made up (as far as we know), called “hammocking.” One of my goals in life is to take my hammock to as many countries in the world/cool places, hang it up and take pictures of it. Soon I will have a whole wall devoted to my picture of me in my hammock all over the world! 

Yesterday I finally got the guts to put my hammock up (it’s taken “guts” cause the monkeys come often and I’m scared they will want to join me), and I had a blast doing it! The fear of the monkey’s made it all that more exciting, and the bible college students loved it! My camera died before I could get pictures of them, but they got a few of me to go on my wall. It’s not in a very dangerous and exciting place, but it is in a beautiful area and it was very nice to sit and read and look at the palm trees above. I find it so easy to connect with God while hammocking cause I”m always surrounded by nature, and relaxed and happy. I often see a picture of Jesus walking up to me and haning His hammock next to mine and use jut “hanging out” and that brings me peace and happiness. I think tomorrow I’m going to try and climb the large tree outside the compound and hang it up there, a little more of a challenge, and a sweet picture! If i succeed I will post picture of that, no worries : D.

It’s pretty hard to catch me in my hammock without a smile on my face, it really is one of my favorite things!

 

 

 

 

 

In other news, I got attacked by a massive ant yesterday! I was sitting at the table writing an email when I felt a very painful pinching on my foot, when I looked down I saw a large (carpenter sized ) ant trying to eat my foot! I really do think it was trying to eat me cause it was bitting me so much that my foot was bleeding and I now have two very large wounds on my big toe. These ants have also murdered my gecko friend David and I’m starting to think I should be careful since they might try to kill me too! From now on will be referred to as carnivorous ants! Check out the wounds I have:
