Day 4

Buenos Noches de Abbotsford!  These are your friendly voices Ryan y Cameron. We had a devertirdo day. As usual profe Saul woke us up with a song Como la Flore. After this bonito song, we had a swift twenty-minute breakfast. After a momentous breakfast we headed to Centro de Fé and met our amigos.

We had a welcoming party that consisted of multiple grades doing performances, which we got to participate in. After this welcoming, we were turned into celebrities, as the younger students kept on asking for our autographs and to take pictures with them. Then the principal gave us a tour of the school which had a really unique design, as the classroom walls were only half the height of the roof. We also found out that their school days are only five hours long. Can you believe that?

We then had one on one time with the Grad class where we shared interests and built relationships with our new friends (even though we are both learning each others’ languages). We ate lunch with our new friends. The menu was rice, fried chicken, plantain chips, and beans with coke to drink. After that we listened to their presentation on Nicaraguan foods.

After that we walked to a park about ten minutes away, and on the way we continued to build relationships with the students. At the park we played multiple sports including basketball, volleyball, skipping, and the legendary Canada vs. Nicaragua fútbol game. We started the game down 2-0, but then Profe Mikey scored a goal and the score was now 2-1. And then yours truly Camer scored and tied the game. Unfortunately, those were the only goals we got. We lost 5-2 :( . Even though we lost, Kaj had some beautiful saves that kept the game closer, and Evan forgot this was a friendly game so he tried too hard and fell three times (LOL). Don’t worry Mr. Beugelink we still have the trophy. 

We said goodbye to our new friends and headed back to our home. We had a nice relaxing time and ate snacks before dinner followed by team time aka T2 and now we are writing to our lovely family and friends who we miss so very much. 

P.S. We heard Kai B. found a snake and put it in the girl’s room.  We also heard that Profe Mikey was the one with the idea. He can deny it all he wants, but we know it to be true.  

To Roselene and Kervens, I don’t remember my horse’s name, but she was a chica, and she had a Spanish name, and I didn’t fall off! I only knew one of the songs at church, but I was able to mostly sing along to the other ones. Miss you and love you lots!  ~ Lucy
