Medical teams fun day

Today was the fun day with the medical team. Things started off like they do every day; wake up, do devotional, change out of the pjs, and eat breakfast. After that the team from Cornelia had to bring down their suitcases and that is when it truly hit me that I would be here for 5 more weeks. Watching all of them bring down their suitcases while Big's, Spencer's, and mine stayed in the room. Something I noticed earlier in the week but I wanted to share was how this team is so laid back at times. We have never been rushed to go anywhere in the mornings. Like today we were suppose to leave at 8 am and the bus was packed by 8 but we all just sat around in the dining room talking until about 8:30 but it wasn't a big deal.
We started the trip back to Managua and stopped at a gas station right outside the city to pick up some drinks and give everyone a chance to stretch some. We then headed straight to the zip line. It was so much fun. About 14 of us did it plus 2 people that were hitchhiking from Mexico City to Colombia joined our group. It was fun doing the zip line and watching everyone else go on it. Big almost took out one of the guides because he didn't break hard enough on the second zip line but everything was fine.
After the zip line we headed to the mall to grab a quick bite to eat. We decided to get it to go and eat on the bus that way we could spend more time at the Masaya market. Well it would have been fast if everyone had not chosen the McDonald's to eat at. Spencer did a great job of translating the orders for everyone. The world cup has hit Nica also. All the TVs in the mall were turned to the games being played and they even set up a projector in the food court for people to watch the games. Once everyone had gotten there food we walked back to the bus and it was pouring down rain so Chico drove around to pick us up.
Once at Masaya everyone did the usual shopping and Morgan, Spencer, and I just walked around and looked at everything. Apparently when I was walking around with some of the Cornelia people Raf and the other interns had a "meeting" without me and they decided I have dish duty for the next 2 weeks... We'll see about that. After the market we took the team to the hotel and said the goodbyes. It was strange being on the other side of the goodbyes. Instead of saying goodbye to the people staying in Nica, I was saying goodbye to the ones leaving. I will miss the team because I made some good friendships that I can't wait to expand more once back home. After dropping the team off and saying good bye we headed back home where almost everyone was quick to fall asleep, I think. I know I was passed out for almost the whole trip home, which for my family reading this is no big surprise of me sleeping in the car. Once we made it back Raf left to go home and sleep and us interns played uno with Don Omar and Dona Fide.
Tomorrow will be another fun day because Omar is coming to town! He is bringing the family and his own interns with him so it will be another packed house. Can't wait to see him because I have missed him a lot also and it will be good to catch up with him and see how his ministry is doing.
Well to everyone back home I'm out for the night and Mo has the next pleasure of blogging. Mace giving you a shout out like I promised I would.
With love,
Chris
