Hello friends and family! We've returned to Managua this afternoon after a blessed week with the women (and several families) of Los Cedros. I will do my best to post some pictures this evening after our dinner :). We are all doing GREAT! There've been no sicknesses or any 'reactions' to food or the heat/direct sunlight; in fact, we all LOVED the FOOD!!! And, we've eaten LOTS OF IT. We are looking forward to the first portion of our debriefing in about an hour and then another amazing dinner prepared by Jolydia (she cooks for the teams regularly here at the CFCI Hospitality House).
We were very sad to leave our new families today. . . . there were many tears and emotions (including the Pastor and our dads!). These people are so incredible, hospitable, and open their homes to us as though they've known us their whole lives. They treat us like royalty and they minister to us like we could never imagine.
Thank you for your prayers & support, we send our love, hugs & kisses to all our familes and loved ones back home! Keep us in prayer as we head out tomorrow for a picnic day with the ladies of New Image. . . . we will be sharing with them and having some wonderful ministry time. For the sake of privacy, I am not able to elaborate online about this particular ministry group of women, but . . . . we are so incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to be with them for the day tomorrow and we can't WAIT to deliver some very special cards to them!! We even delivered some of these special cards already, to the core church women of Los Cedros (that we had 4 sessions of ministry time with). Thank you Chris & all the ladies of Seacoast Sisterhood and/or Chris's group that took the precious time to make those cards with so much love! We have some awesome pictures to share with you that show the hearts your time/effort has already affected (I'll post some tonight, internet cooperation willing).
Thank you all again, and we'll update you soon!
Blessings to you all,
Maria, Heather, Angela, Brandy, Judy (and our Nica team members Hellen, Carolina, Araceylis & Blanca)
