We’re in Los Angeles

 Well, I’m here in my last
month of ministry on the World Race and of course you would expect me to say
“How time flies”   but I have
to tell the truth it hasn’t the last 5 days have seemed like weeks. I’m not
sure why that is…maybe its because we’re on island time here. Literally, we are
on an island called Ometepe in a village called Los Angeles and get this the island is made up of a giant volcano
that is in the middle of a giant lake in Nicaragua AND the lake has sharks how cool is that! My team and I laugh about
how this island reminds of the TV series Lost because it is so very isolated here.
The village is super small with one street that runs through it. 

We are living at an
orphanage called Cicrin that is right on the water. My team and team Clay  are spending our island days doing
manual labor like cement work  at
the local church, kitchen duty and working in the garden that brings in most of
the orphanage’s food supply. Of course we play with the kiddos and have a good
time having them perfect our basic Spanish skills and my favorite we dance together almost every night. Our 5 days here have been
full and we have seen that Cicrin is one huge family. Most
of the children are in their teens and have lived here since they were small.
There is a lot of love and stability here and its been easy to join in on the Cicrin
Family fun.
