Man, has the week sure flown by :( I have been having so much fun writing and keeping everybody up with what we are doing back home with this blog! I am so sad to be writing the last blog I will be posting here in Nicaragua. What an amazing, awe inspiring experience it has been for me personally and the entire team.
Today we had another great breakfast and an awesome devotional team! We worshiped and praised God with some songs this morning. We also went around the circle and told what we would miss most about Nicaragua and what we are looking forward to most going back home. It got very emotional this morning. Everybody shed a few tears or at least got tears in their eyes as we went through what we would miss. We have really made such wonderful relationships with the people we have worked with.
We prayed as a group for the many new friends we made along with the college students we met last night. We prayed for a very special little boy named Nathaniel that goes to one of the schools that NRN works with. He is a 7th grader and is having surgery on a large mass in his cheek this Tuesday. Please keep him in your prayers!
We had our free day today and we loaded lunches onto the bus and headed to the largest outdoor market in Central America in Granada. We had so much fun buying things and spending time with our translators Aaron and Juan Carlos. We then road up to the top of the mountain to look over onto Lake Nicaragua! We even got to see the Volcano! We dealt with lots of rain today, but it didn't dampen our spirits. We had many laughing episodes on the bus rides, and we even ended up eating lunch on the bus due to the rain! We still had a wonderful time though. We headed down to Granada into the city square and toured a Cathedral there that is very well known. Granada was very beautiful. We even got to take a boat ride to look at many of the islands that have been formed by the volcano! We saw monkey island and the whole day was just a lot of fun.
We had dinner all together as team with Henry, our bus driver, and Aaron and Juan Carlos. We just had a wonderful fun filled day strengthening our relationships and laughing together. Bus rides were filled with laughter and singing!
Tomorrow will be a long day! We have to leave the La Quinta by 4:30! Thank you for all the prayers! God has been present every day here and has been moving in all of our hearts! I will post once we get to Atlanta! Please keep checking the blog for pictures of our amazing trip!!
Love you all and sending love to all our Nicaragua friends as we leave them tomorrow!!
