Day 7!

The team has pressed through yet another workday and finished up well. Things run a little differently down here in Puerto Cabezas so we were not able to get anymore of the wood siding from the mill because it had not been planed yet for us. And since there's no Home Depot or Lowes around here we leaned into what God had for us. Some of the team continued working on the houses to frame the roofing so that the crews after us could get the house covered. This crew worked hard through the heat and sun to get a lot done! The rest of the team went to a new place for us. It's a feeding center that Verbo ministries operates and we had a chance to help prepare a lunch and play with the kids that would receive the meals. The team immediately connected with the kids and began playing all sorts of games and just hanging out with them. We discovered that this center feeds lunch to 250-400 people every day! The vast majority of those are children ages 2-12 and for about 60% of them it is the only meal they will have that day. It's a great outreach and is truly making a difference as they have been able to track the health improvements in the children who have been receiving these meals. The team continued working on the houses in the afternoon doing as much as we could without the siding boards and once again played with the children in that area. After dinner we were able to go to the midweek Verbo Church service and well begin packing and cleaning as we start the first leg of our journey tomorrow! Well spend the day in Managua and then have some time together as a team to talk about our entire experience and what that means as we head back home. It'll be a great day!
