Erin called tonight, using Penny's phone, with a new report about what the team has been doing. From what I am able to remember after our call ended:
The entire Nicaragua team is healthy and all are helping with improvements to the church in Masaya (the United Methodist Church).
Yesterday the team from Boston Avenue and another group worked on the outside and the roof of the church. With so many working on the roof, they made so much noise that it was difficult to hold Vacation Bible School. But 80 children participated, hearing a story and crafting crosses.
This morning Kali, Richard, and Erin did some shopping at Price Mart. Work continued on the church (and probably included new tile). Because of work on the floors inside, VBS was moved outside, even though rain was expected. But the rain didn't come, and they had 100 children. Tonight the team was having dinner at a town outside Masaya.
Tomorrow, the team will continue to work on the church, and they expect to have more than 100 children for their final VBS (On Thursday, because benches and railings will be covered with fresh paint, our team will not be able to hold a fourth day of VBS).
I'll let you know when we get another update. And I'll let them know about your well wishes and comments.
Barbara
