So nice to enjoy the rainy breeze from the laundry room. I just told Mo I always flock to the place where I feel most comfortable, in front of the washing machine. Ha. Happy Mothers Day from Nicaragua! We've had such a great day celebrating with Doña Fide. Mothers Day is a BIG deal here compared to the states, which is honestly, how I think it should be. Every lady we passed on the street today had a cake in her hands. The church service this morning was specifically dedicated to the mothers with beautiful decorations and chembombas/balloons everywhere. Some of the youth there even lip synched a song from alvin and chipmunks for the mothers. It was hilarious. They were dressed up and everything.
We had lunch at a bbq place right outside of town. It was so good with huge portions. Raf wanted us all to eat out as a treat for Lesbia and Fide so no one would have to cook. After lunch, we came back to the team house where Mo and I made coffee for everyone. I served them with Fide's apron on which got a kick out of everyone. We enjoyed the afternoon talking with Lesbia and Raf, while playing with the kids as well. We're family here.
This evening we've really just been hanging out and catching up. I decided to go ahead and do the blog before dinner for those of you who want to get a heads start, aka Babs. :) Well I'm off to dinner! I hear the ladies in the kitchen shrieking. It sounds like Mo is learning another recipe!
Love you all and I'm praying for yall,
sb

You can't get much of a headstart on me. It is pouring cats and dogs here so I thought of ya'll and checked out the blog. There you were! "Big" could hardly contain himself today at church just thinking about next week this time he would be there. Josh and Austin hammered out a few issues over lunch as they prepare for July's arrival. We love ya'll!
