Today, when we got to the camp there was a craft fair. All the crafts were hand-made by the Chacocente families. After shopping, we got right back to work. Our group is in charge of adding an addition to Karen's house for the teenage girls. We have moved sand and moved sand and moved more sand. Then we got to move dirt. Finally, today we were promoted to mixing cement and laying bricks. We're looking forward to finishing it.
Also, today the Chacocente families challenged CUMC youth and adults in a game of soccer. But to our disappointment, we lost. (we plan to dominate tomorrow) After 66 people showered in 60 minutes, we went to church. It was an amazing experience and most of us wish that the churches back home were like that. The church service consisted of loud singing and lots of dancing!
Post-worship, we ate dinner at an authentic Nicaraguan restaurant. At first, we were all stressed because it was late and we very hungry. The food was very good and there was live entertainment. We were all up dancing and enjoying the food. Its now close to midnight and we just got back from the restaurant and are all exhausted.

I am so happy to hear that you all continue to have a great time and learning experience. One question, being on Youth Council and fundraising for these trips the last several years, does this mean we can use your skills and sell your cement and bricklaying experience as part of the CUMC fundraising program? That would be great! Continue to enjoy and stay safe in the name of Jesus.
