Up bright and early and off to a splendid, bumpy arrival at the Church our last Mission Trip had worked with two years ago. Ted, Laura, Rachel and Doug were swept up in many hugs and welcomes. Samuel our translator was also so glad to see the familiar faces from before and made sure he found out what every one else was doing now.
Our church service brimmed with emotion as we worshipped, prayed and sang in Spanish and English. Both Pastor Francisco and Eduardo (yes, that's Ted) addressed the congregation reinforcing the power of prayer for each of our congregations and how our world although very large is brought so much closer through the power of God, prayer, love, and of course, singing together.
Following a tour of the wonderful rooms built last time we headed out to the Masaya Volcano which is slightly active. We hiked to the top of the trail for a smoky vista of a cloudy pit. Then off the the zip line!! EVERYONE DID IT!!! Can you hear the screams? Two kilometers, 17 platforms (high ones!), 11 zip lines and lots of underwear later we arrived at the bottom. Check out the looks on our faces.
Then we were off to the lagoon with a fabulous vista of Lake Nicaragua and Grenada. Shopping in the market will consume the rest of the hockey bags.
Stay tuned for more....
