walking through Vera Cruz
making new friends
After many hours of travel we arrived in Nicaragua Thursday afternoon. We quickly loaded our luggage (over 2,100 lbs of donations from friends and family!) onto the bus and headed to Casa Bernabe in Vera Cruz. The afternoon was spent just hanging out with new and old friends as we played with the kids here. After dinner we got together for porch time where we were able to share our thoughts and stories of the day and saw that God was at work with us here already in so many ways.
Friday morning we met Eddie Morales, the on site director of OrphaNetwork and learned about the amazing work that is going on here! Then we took a walk through the village of Vera Cruz. As soon as we were outside the orphanage gates we were joined by dozens of women and children from the community. As we walked we heard stories and played games with the children.
We are looking forward to taking the children to the beach tomorrow and going to Verbo church in Managua to see a talent show some of the kids are performing in!
