Tomorrow at this time I will be on my way HOME, can you believe it? My flight actually leaves at 8:50am and after a layover in Atlanta, I will get to Baltimore around 7:00pm - not too long of a day, thankfully! I would really appreciate your prayers for my travel and for everyone else on the team as well as we all just want to get home and see family and friends.

     This past week our team was helping out at the orphanage on the island of Ometepe in the middle of Lake Nicaragua. The morning was filled with working (in the kitchen and garden, cleaning, and helping out at a nearby feeding program and medical clinic), and the afternoons/evenings felt a lot like vacation. There were several hammocks overlooking the lake and they were conveniently facing WEST so you know that means the most beautiful sunsets ever. Our whole team had an amazing time there. In case you did not know this, I have never been the biggest kid pérson... it is something that I asked God at the beginning of this trip to change in me and I am happy to say that He has! Friday afternoon I met a little girl named Angie who had the biggest smile I have ever seen on a 3 year old. We played "hide and go seek" most of the afternoon while sharing a hammock, giggling the entire time. God is good.

     Well I know this is shorter but I need to wrap it up as I am not on my laptop this time due to a dead power cord. Funny story that is happening right now... because I am on a computer in a Spanish speaking country, they have a different keyboard and there are some things I can not seem to find - such as the "at" symbol and that little mark you use for making contractions. (Notice that I have not used a single contraction in this entire post? My English teacher would be so proud.)

 

So... family, I will see you tomorrow, and PGBC family I will see you in 3 days!
