Wordless Books

We went to the school again and worked in a couple different groups. One group played a pictionary-like game to help the students with their English (and our Spanish, as it turned out!). Another group participated in a worship rock concert led by Dana. Dana was rocking the braids and a colorful bandana so once we threw the guitar on her and had her jammin on a stage, the hippie look was complete! The kids definitely made the mosh-pit effect as well! A third group made wordless books with the students in the classrooms (which are tents). These wordless books are simple bracelets made from a string of hemp and with black, red, white, green, and gold beads to symbolize significant parts of the Christian walk of faith.

It rained around 4 pm today so school was dismissed early! Because of rain! We were pleasantly surprised and quite joyful to be caught outside in the rain :)

Here are some pictures from the last two days that we got the chance to upload:

Nos encanta siestas. (We love naps!)

Bringing nations together, one nail at a time!

This is our mode of transportation to the school everyday: Nicaraguan style in the back of the truck.

Russ picking up the 5 boys!

Playing "Grand Pumba"

Los chicos playing "duck, duck, GOOSE!"....except they said "pollo" instead of "goose", hahaha!


Girls and their (borrowed) technology!

Yo necesito muchas massages! Lifting so many kids all day makes sore muscles all night! It also encourages team bonding :)

Counting hemp in spanish in cute voices.


We didn't plan to all wear gray shirts today. Believe it or not.

Hippie style


And they think they fit in!

Rock concert!

For those of you who appreciate Monty Python :)
