I got up and worked a little on the computer until Lesly asked me to help her run errands. I was more than happy to pull off of the computer!
Edmundo drove Lesly and I to Palí to buy some more plastic bowls that the team was donating to the Feeding Center at the Old Dump. Then we went by to deliver them and I got some pics of the set up there. The team did so much good work to help people with tooth pain. What a blessing!!
Next we went to La Unión to buy groceries for the incoming team. It takes hours just to buy groceries sometimes and we had 3 carts of food, even though the team is only 14 people. Then we ran by the bakery and had to stop to get water and ice. German had called Lesly as we were checking out at the grocery store and asked her to be back to the team house in 30 minutes. It was going to be close!!! León has many one ways streets and it sometimes takes a while just to circle the block. Lesly had Edmundo drop her off at one end of the block from the bakery and by the time we drove around to pick her up, she was ready to come out. The back seats in the van have been taken out to haul stuff, so the groceries were all piled back there. The boys who put the stuff in the van had stacked 4 crates of 2 dozen eggs each on top of each other. They fell over when we turned the corner. But God protected those eggs and none were broken! Yay!
After lunch, some of the team ran to town to buy a few last minute souvenirs and some coffee to take back to the states. Some took naps and some took a quick dip in the pool. A few got massages from Mayela.
Then we all loaded up and headed toward the beach. On the way, we stopped at the new neighborhood by the little León airport. The leaders asked that we come and pray over their land. We are trying to bring each team there so that it can be covered in much prayer.
We headed to the beach and took pics then went to Suyapa restaurant for dinner. It takes a while to get your food, so we ordered and then most of the team walked along the beach for pics. Our food finally came and it was so delicious! As we were waiting to pay and leave, Pastor Jamie and Sandra started doing a little dancing together. I caught it on video and then Carolyn and Marilyn (who work in the Dentist’s office) did a few dance steps themselves. I downloaded the videos onto facebook. It was a nice dinner and evening.
We got back to town and it was all dark. When the lights are out in León, it’s beyond dark. Danilo, one of our drivers, said that most of the whole town was without electricity. We found some flashlights and everyone started to their rooms for some packing. Then the lights came back on and Mike held his ‘goodbye’ meeting with the team. The lights flickered a few more times, but stayed on, so everyone could get packed up. This has been a great group and even though I didn’t get to go out and work with them, I really enjoyed having them around.
Everyone found a place to rest for a little bit. The next team was arriving around 1am. This team was leaving at 4am. I plan on sleeping through most of the changing of the guard. ☺
