The first couple of days we have spent traveling, settling in, and experiencing new things.
Friday was a long day of travel. A delayed flight and some baggage stuck at customs put us a couple hours behind our schedule. We stayed the night as we headed up to La Esmeralda so we could finish the trip in the daylight.
A good meal, showers and a bed did us well!
Saturday we finished our travel into La Esmeralda and were greeted by our partners. We settled in and started to get to know the team. We ended our night at youth group and sharing stories after dinner.
Sunday morning we got started early so we could get to church. The team was immersed in the culture with a full service in Spanish. Some of the students joined Sunday school with the kids.
We spent the afternoon preparing the hygiene packs for the community outreach and playing soccer, cards, volleyball, etc… with our new friends!
We ended our day at church, had dinner and shared some more of our stories.
We look forward to what the rest of the week holds!
