Hello from Nicaragua!
Our long night of sharing scary stories led to a rough morning wake up. Even though it was early, the pancakes we had for breakfast were well worth it. When we arrived to the house, Michele was ready to play with us.
Many batches of cement were made giving us a short break for lunch. After lunch, it only took three more batches of concrete to complete the job. The "Senior's last batch" tradition was fulfilled while Bobby, Ilse, Kyle, Chrissy, Kelly, Mikki, Dani and Gaby hoed away. It was a very rewarding feeling to finish the house, but also sad closing this chapter of our trip. To finish the final day working, Maria Ester, the seven year old daughter, drew us a picture, thanking us all for building her a new home.
On the way back to the ranch, we were able to stop by the home the 2015 Nica Crew built. It was gratifying to see the progress on the house since last years trip. The house was divided into two bedrooms and electricity was being installed.
We are all proud to say that the 2016 Nica Crew completed this home in two and a half days! After taking nice and moist showers, we are now taking a much needed rest and can't wait for dinner and devotions.
Until tomorrow,
Dani, Landon, and Gaby :)
