Hola everyone!

We arrived at 1am in the morning on Wednesday the 28th at campo Alegria. After a bumpy ride from the city through the sugar cane feilds. We almost hit a cow on our way in. When we woke up on Wednesday morning we were excited to see how gorgeous the camp is. The waves from Lake Managua were crashing on the beach and the volcano Imotepe is an amazing back drop to the whole scene. The colors here a very bright.

Since we’ve arrived at the camp we have all been busy working on projects to get ready for the kids to come on Saturday. Yesterday we put together sixty model airplanes, cars, and boats for the kids to paint. We have also been painting a cabin. We’ve organized the donated stuff. The shoes take up two whole bunks and half the floor, it will be exciting to give them away.

We have really enjoyed swimming in the lake. The water is really warm compared to the ocean at home. We haven’t seen any sharks yet, but you will be the first to know when we do. Last night the boys threw a ginormous toad over the wall from the boys bathroom to the girls bathroom while we were brushing our teeth, we screamed so loud you could probably hear us at home.

The food has been delicioso (delicious)!!!!!! Thanks to Janeth, Beatrice, and Maria. We’ve had a hard time getting use to the bugs but they were not as bad as we expected. We still have not seen a scorpion (YAY!).

We miss you all and wish you could be here too. We will send another
update soon. Please pray that we will be good examples for the kids and
that seeds will be planted.

Adios!
