This morning was our last time at Iglesia Salim. We said our goodbyes to them, tomorrow we pack and make our arrangements to Race to Guatemala on Tuesday (P.S. Team 5 Alive is going to bring it, so other teams prepare for defeat). We will spend under a week in Antigua debriefing with our coaches Seth and Karen Barnes, and then Team 5 Alive is officially off to Ometepe, Nicaraugua…a small island (with an active volcano) in Lake Nicaragua to do ministry at an orphanage for 5 approximatley weeks. Here is a blog a previous racer wrote about the orphanage we are going to
Here are some things that happened this past month (aside from ministry) you may not know about, but I have pictures to explain the events better….
1. Our host (Eleazer) has 2 dogs that killed an iguana, and he suprised me with it by putting its carcass on our kitchen floor….it was gross ( I dont have pictures of the tarantulas or frogs that plague us at night!)
2. 5-Alive attempted to visit the famous Palenque Mayan Ruins, but due to a massive down pour of rain we spent less than 15 mintues there…10 of which were spent in an ancient Mayan palace/tomb sheltering ourselves from the monsoon.
Faking a smile, because it was hot and rainy, sweaty and soaking wet
3. Visited “Agua Azul.” A local spot with beautiful water falls!
Talk to you in Guatemala!
