Saturday evening and I've been resting on my bed doing paperwork from the team expenses, doing a crossword book, messing with Facebook and just resting. It's been a good end to a great week.
This morning I rode into Managua with the team from Highland Baptist Church (New Iberia LA) so they could get on the plane to return home. We had an awesome week of ministry. While the team was getting their luggage off of the vans, I ran inside the terminal and found something that Ric was needing to purchase to take home. Mission accomplished in record time. The group all got checked in and whisked home to LA.
Mike, Manuelito, German and I returned to Poneloya in Chin-Chin (our little VOH van) after doing some errands. I had fun with Manuel in the second seat. He is always wanting to do pretend stuff and we did everything from Preach, Sing, fly a plane, drive a car, ride in an ambulance, lay in a hospital bed, work at an office, well, you get the picture. He's always a fun time!
The team had a wonderful Fun Day yesterday. We went to the Canopy Tour (zip line) near Masaya. Then we had lunch in Granada at our new favorite restaurant. Then we did a little shopping at Catarina. It rained on us while shopping, but no one seemed to mind too bad. We all got a few items and then headed home. We stopped in Managua at a very nice McDonalds for dinner. (a big hit). It was pouring rain most of the way home. The traffic was really bad going through Managua, but once we hit the open road, we made it fine. We got back to the team house about 9:30pm. Everyone packed and went to bed.
This morning we had breakfast and then took some team pictures and then loaded up in the vans.
It has been such a pleasant week. This was a first time with us team and they accepted our requests for doing things 'our way'. They were mostly seasoned mission trippers, so they understand that the local ministry understands best how to effectively minister to the people in the area. That is a huge help for us when leading the teams.
I was blessed by the sweet spirits of the people on the team. I'm thankful and rejuvenated by having them here this week.
Time to hit the sack for tonight. We are going to the church at Puente Country Club tomorrow. It's a small church that we did a Fiesta and a Feeding at a few weeks ago. It will be fun to worship with them.
Going to bed a very blessed person! Thank You Lord for EVERYTHING!
