Feliz Día de la Madre!

Well I got to double dip on the Mother's Day holiday this, once in the states and then yesterday here in Nicaragua. For holidays here in Nicaragua it is very similar to holidays in the U.S. all businesses shut down and everyone just relaxes and spends time with their families.

With that said I spent the day with my family here in Nicaragua. We went to Miriam's aunt's house to celebrate Mother's Day. We ate, danced to the music, and had a piñata. This was my first experience with a piñata but a very enjoyable one because it was an authentic latino piñata in Nicaragua. The piñata was a star and hand made by Miriam's mother and grandmother.

Not the exact piñata but you can get an idea of it!

Today, is a rather cooler day with cloudy skies which will be nice as we run many errands in preparing for the team to arrive this weekend. We are picking up groceries and supplies for the team today and also going to the police station to register a new shotgun we got for the mission house. It is safe here might I add. So no worries there! But we now have one here just in case. :)

I hope everyone has a great day!
