Our devotions yesterday focussed on serving and "paying it forward." Wow...did we have the chance to practice. We are leaving shortly so this summary won't do justice to the extent that we were able to greet, serve, pray and enjoy fellowship. What a team!
We started at La Mascotta Children's Hospital leaving 1 medi pak to help and then held babies and distributed clothing, toys, and supplies. The cribs and rocking chairs provided by our last group were seen in full use, being enjoyed by mothers and babies. Our painting project assisted 7 children and team members connect and enjoy developing art together.
We headed to a feeding station after lunch and were able to assist in feeding the families in a barrio outside Managua. Due to delays an international version of the hokey-pokey was enjoyed by all. When the truck pulled up, families arrived, mostly children - close to a 100 and we helped serve a roll, chicken and rice and a drink.
We had a side trip to the Wembley Market and experienced local crafts, tourist sights, and negotiating in Spanish (or attempted to). From there, we travelled to the Boys and Children's Orphanage where we held babies, left supplies and clothing, and enjoyed playing soccer - score 2-2, and enjoyed the bread from their bakery. We will send pictures and tell about the rest of our day later - we are heading out for tour of Managua before we leave for Chinendaga.
Adios!
