Last day in Nica for the remnant

Well Michelle has left and returned home.

Tammy has left and returned home.

Pat and Trudy have left and returned home early this morning.

Four of us remain for one more day and then we are off for Canada. As usual, this has been a journey of surprises. The PD team was expecting maybe 35 0r 40 teachers and 53 showed up which here, is a great turnout and wonderful success (as it was the teachers holiday time). The team has experienced aspects of Nicaragua where there are explicit and great needs, where there is wonderful beauty and beautiful people. Once again we have been humbled and challenged.

And then of course there's the silly fun things...

This morning Jim left Pete a love note or some poopie art - whatever you want to call it. Being the creative nutbar that he is, he placed a large piece of paper in the basketball court at a place where birds frequently poop on. It had a message for Pete on it and asked for love sponsors to mimic the birds...it doesn't get nuttier than that. This has been a great team, these are great friends and this has been an amazing experience. Loads of smiles and laughter, some tears along the way and new friendships and clearly God has opened our hearts to new things and more of His love.
