Each day of our summer adventure continues to amaze me (Katie)! Our first Sunday of the trip was filled with rewarding opportunities and breath taking sights that look too beautiful to be real ! We began our day by going to the church iglesia hechos 24. After spending time with the adorable children at church, we traveled around Nicaragua seeking the sights of an active volcano and Lake Nicaragua!

It was so rewarding spending the morning with the children at iglesia hechos 24. We participated in the celebration of Children's Day by handing out candy while the kids broke open a pinata, we gave out jugetes (beanie babies) to each child, and helped serve the children food provided by New Hope. The children were so thankful for our visit and they showed us there appreciation by hugging all of us with smiles from ear to ear!! :)

We came to Nicaragua to help people that live in poverty and we have found that the people of Nicaragua have helped us as well. Through the genuine smiles of the children you can see their simple ways of life.. health, happiness, and love!
