Yesterday, 15 brave souls made the long trip from Des Moines to Azacualpa. Our journey was uneventful, even with the threat of a tropical storm and some tight connnections along the way. Obviously He has a plan for us and has blessed us with smooth travels. Only snag was the time involved with customs and immigration, but that was due to half the group being seated in the back of the plane. But we were fortunate to even get a flight, so again, blessings.
This morning, after a familiar breakfast of pancakes and bacon, we spent the morning digging fence post holes and spreading gravel. Normally Saturday is a more relaxed day, however due to our travel dates being on Fridays we decided to make today a work day so we can take the kids on an outing on Thursday. I have to say, I completely understand why someone here would only work a half day followed by a nap! Heat + humidity + bugs + thorns = fun times, haha.
Already, we have been able to spend plenty of fun time with the kids and they love our pictures and stories. I know that Phil and I already have girls vying for our wedding photos that they want to keep and if I am not careful I will come home with a camera full of 1000 pictures taken by the kids of myself and other random things. Tonight, there are plans for a soccer game and the guys on our team are quite excited for that. I can't wait to see what the rest of the week brings and for the experiences to come.
Blessings,
Miranda G.
