We were also able to have a special meal for the teachers. They really appreciated us doing this for them. One teacher said, "I am so happy you took the time to do this for us because sometimes we feel like our work isn't valued here." We didn't realize our chicken and rice lunch with the small gift of school supplies would go such a long way in encouraging these teachers. Ms. Sonya from the team did a great job leading a devotion with the teachers entirely in Spanish! I was very impressed.
The team's final day consisted of a few R&R activities around Nicaragua. We spent the morning at the market and then had a great lunch at La Catarina overlooking a beautiful lagoon. We zip lined and visited the volcano in the afternoon.
The team headed out early this morning to fly back to Knoxville. Please be praying for their travels throughout today! I thank God for giving us a great first team to work with, the kids, faculty and parents of Concord Christian School are great people that are passionate about serving and sharing the Gospel to the nations!
