Bittersweet moments with fun, work and farewells.
We began by stopping at the school and spending time with
the two classes of children.
We did several activities: Daryl brought crosses for the
children to decorate with colorful stones and glitter.
It was a great time!
The children were so careful and did a great job.
We sang This is the Day in both English and Spanish.
Each class had their photo taken with a Polaroid Camera so
we were able to leave the photo in each classroom.
Then the fun really began as the children and some adults
played with beach balls! It was a time
of fun and giggles for everyone.
On to the worksite where there was more concrete to mix,
rebar to tie, poles to paint, and then the good-byes.
We presented team
t-shirts to many of the partners at the New Jerusalem Land bank and took lots
of pictures.
Off to pack and have lunch before heading back to Managua.
After a wonderful dinner at our hotel, we went up to the
roof for devotions led by Martha Vink.
Especially moving was our translator Jimmy’s words of
profound love and thanksgiving for our time together.
He is not only a great translator, but a true friend of this
team and filled with the Holy Spirit.
While finishing our devotions Dr. Belinda’s husband, Dr. Gerardo brought us a
present from AMC. Each of us received a
mug with the NYAC logo, the Cross and Flame on one side and the AMC logo on
another side.
To make it even more special each mug had one of our names
on it and the date of our trip.
