The Seniors and Sophomore boys have arrived safely in Nicaragua.
They will spend the rest of the evening settling in to their rooms at the orphanage in preparation for a full day of activity tomorrow. In the morning, they will be getting acquainted with the orphanage and the surrounding town of Vera Cruz. After getting exposed to the area and the culture, they will take the children from the orphanage to Lake Nicaragua for a fun afternoon of playing, swimming, and building relationships. Please continue to pray for our team, that God would show up in the big moments and the little details.
The other group composed of the Juniors and Sophomore girls experienced a little more difficulty in their travels to Managua. Everyone is safe and healthy, however, there were a few weather-related delays to our travel. The delays we experienced trying to wait out weather over the Managua airport caused us to be diverted to re-fuel in El Salvador. While re-fueling in there was another storm which forced the airline to cancel the flight for the evening.
We are currently on our way to a nearby hotel where we will get a night of much needed rest. Our flight leaves at 10am on Wednesday morning.
Let me re-iterate that everyone is safe and healthy. The students have high spirits and are growing in love for one another as we experience life today. God has been good to us throughout. We have already begun bonding as a team overt delicious airport food and various card games.
Please pray for our travel schedule tomorrow. We are hoping to meet up with the Seniors and Sophomore boys at lunch and take the kids from the orphanage to the lake as one big Chapel missions team.
