Take a look at what our month was like in Nicaragua in June! The first clips are of my birthday, and I must say, in 24 years of life this was definitely my favorite birthday. I woke up to a "Happy Birthday Erin" sign strung across the doorway outside then we got caught in a torrential downpour while moving cement blocks, got fixed up and went to a sushi/sports bar, and ended the night with a surprise party of balloons, a pinata, and cake. I felt SO loved by my team and everyone around me (:

Other highlights from the month were building a kitchen for our dear friend Connie, killing tarantulas, throwing a party for the staff of Vision Nicaragua, baptisms, hiking the volcano Cerro Negro and boarding down it, and so much more! If you'd like to hear more about my month there, I'd be more than happy to share with you. But for now, check out and enjoy the video courtesy of my teammate Angela!
