Moronga

Whewww. We're back in Matagalpa with dirty clothes in our backbacks and smiles on our faces of a weekend well spent.

Friday morning we set out for Chinandega and spent the day with Omar and Ruth and their girls, Jasmina and Emily. Jasmina is absolutely beautiful like her mom and Emily has the cutest curls. We found out that a ministry called Amigos for Christ was the house right next door to Omar's house. Our friend Sebastian is working with them all summer so we went over to try and find him. He had just left with their team to spend the night climbing a volcano and camping out but we got to meet his sister and she gave us a tour of their place! We left and got icecream at one of the million icecream shops there because it's extremely hot there. Came home and just enjoyed everyone's company. We got up the next day and had great pancakes and hit the road soon after for Leon.
In Leon, we were going to see Jorge and his family. Jorge is the youngest son of Dona Fide and Don Omar. We got to their house and had lunch. Carla, his wife, was wonderful and their three sons Jorgito, Bryan, and Carlito were there and it was great to get to see them again :). We all ended up going to the beach and Amigos for Christ was there too! We ended up meeting up with Sebastian which is crazy because we're used to seeing each other in Athens and now all the way around the world we all end up on the same beach. It was awesome to get to see him. That night we had a terrible storm. I was staying in a room that was kind of off of the main house and you had to go outside to get back into the house. Literally, when it started to really storm like 2AM I felt like the thunder and lightening was cracking not even two feet from my door. I have never experienced a storm like that. Little did I know that everyone in the house was up and moving around because it was so bad; Water was getting all in the house. It was nuts. In the morning we all got up and watched some TV... Katie Rae if you're reading this, Carla offered me Special K for breakfast and I gladly accepted and thought of you! :) We hung around the house until 3ish and then headed back here.
We start school tomorrow so I'm pumped for that! Right now I've got to get settled back into the team house, but we love y'all and we're praying hard.

Bendiciones!
