The team had a great time at the church service this morning. Definitely a different experience! God's Spirit was there and there's something powerful about worshiping God in a different language.
We're getting acquainted with "Nica Time" already (short for Nicaragua Time). That's the phrase we use to describe the fact that daily schedules aren’t quite as consistent as we Americans are used to. We got up on time, but breakfast was a half an hour late, our drivers where 45 minutes late, and the church service went about a half an hour longer than expected. We had planned for about 3 hours of down time this afternoon (to recover from the long day of travel and short night of sleep) but that turned out to be only about an hour long. Now we are back up and ready to head to a big "fiesta" where we'll get to hang out with a bunch of kids in the community. We're supposed to leave at 3, which according to Nica Time could be anywhere between 3:15 and 4. We'll see!
A couple of random bits of info....
- Kevin wants to thank his mom for packing shorts (apparently that didn't happen)
- Drew forgot tennis shoes...might have a hard time playing soccer!
- Jake hasn't seen a spider yet
- Paige is perfectly content that her bag she packed weighed 47lbs.
- Donna has every medicine known to man...and is all together a great asset to our team!
- Brad (me) is loving this trip
Everyone is healthy. We have a lot of good stuff to come!
