Day 8: Last Day

Today was our last day here in beautiful Nicaragua. We leave in the morning at 7:35am on the plane home.

Today like every day on this trip so far was outstanding. We visited two schools today that Edu Deo has helped in the past. We toured the schools and sat with the principles and heard about their lives and the school. To hear one share about how they were about to close the doors to the school a number of years ago, and God provided the money when it was needed and now the school is doing well.

The other principle shared his vision with us about what the school can become and the impact it well have on the kids attending. A very powerful time this morning.

We played soccer again today at one of the schools with the kids. The whole team played and had a great amount of fun with the kids. I think we got three shots total, LOL. Those kids were good!!!!!

We had lunch and then visited a couple of tourist sites here in Managua. It was Lester's one last chance to show us this beautiful place. Terry the firefighter on the team got to visit a local firehouse here in Nicaragua as well today. 

We came back here to the Nehemiah Centre and debriefed with Lester and Nidal about our experience. 

We will be sad to leave here tomorrow, but also very glad to see our families at home again. Our lives have been impacted and changed because of this experience together. Nicaragua has a piece of each of our hearts and we all look forward to when we can visit again.

Blessings,

Team Newfoundland
