My parents were born and raised in Bluefields, Nicaragua. My ancestors are Mosquito Indians. If you look at me you would think i am African American. I listen to Reggae,Latino,hip-hop& R&B,and country. My family and I eat Hispanic food such as Frito, rice and beans,tortillas,and Spanish white cheese. I am Moravian which is a type of Christianity. I attend church every Sunday when I am at home. I am a strong believer in God and his son Jesus Christ. My family is very tight and close knit. My great grandmother on my dad's side had 14 children and my great grandmother on my mom's side had 10 so my family is pretty huge. We celebrate holidays by going from one cousin's house to the next. As a family we enjoy listening to music and dancing. Every other year my family and I go to Nicaragua to visit my grandparents and other relatives. In Bluefields we speak broken English similar to Patois (Patwa) in which Jamaicans speak,and Spanish in the markets. I am not fluent in Spanish but my parents are. Bluefields is a very poor place but the people are very friendly.
That is cool that you and your family speak different languages and variations of English. Do you also have family in the U.S ? If you do where do they live? I like your picture.
ReplyDeleteVery intriuging background!
ReplyDeleteYou stole my background but I forgive you. I didn't know you were mixed full of nationalities. I know how a big family can be hard but it's also fun. My dad's parents had 9 children in total and now I have over 40 cousins on that side.
ReplyDeleteLast December I went to Nicaragua with my family and I thought it was an incredibly beautiful country! We went to Granada, Ometepe(sp), and San Juan Del Sur. Also, my cousin is adopting two kids from Nicaragua.
ReplyDeleteI am a Christian also, but lately I have been open minded to a lot of things (you know, after leaving home) And I feel that my faith is going to go down the crapper... So I'm getting connected with a church after my friend moves down here. And I know a few Moravians, they are rather awesome people, and have a very strong general concern for people.
ReplyDeleteI have a big family too, and it is fun stuff, I wouldn't have it any other way.
I am also a great believer in God and his Son Jesus Christ. Its nice to see someone else expresses there faith as well as I do.
