Hey everyone it's been a whirlwind two days for the team but we are in Puerto Cabezas and have had a great day! Travel through to Managua was great and the flights this morning were an adventure for all! We took a total of 3 planes throughout the morning to get us all here to Port by lunch time. Everyone got a warm welcome from Pastor Earl, the pastor and leader of Verbo Ministries here in Port!
Lidia Bowie (Pastor Earls daughter) gave us a great tour of the Verbo Ministries facilities here after lunch and we got to see the church, school, orphanage, clinic, and a restaurant that operates to generate revenue for the ministry!
The team spent the afternoon playing with the kids from the orphanage and it was amazing to see two groups of people who don't understand a word each other are saying have sooooo much fun together! Piggy back rides, UNO, hilariously trying to learn Spanish from the kids brought tons of smiles! We even had a chance to put together a team to take on the older boys in some soccer! It was quite the spectacle to behold but all in all we put up a good fight and had tons of fun!
An awesome day was capped off with going to youth group tonight at Verbo church! Not many things cooler than ending the day in worship with people singing the same song in Spanish and English! Such a great example of different cultures coming together to worship God!
More tomorrow!
Awesome recap...thanks! Was waiting patiently, knowing there was a reason blog was silent for a span. It is all good....just enjoy when you have the chance to post. In the meantime...do what you are there to do....we will understand if time/techonology/power failures prevent you from posting. No worries...God Bless.~Shelly B.
