Nicaragua Day #5 (12/17/11)

"Community. It's really strong here. Everyone was involved in the celebration of the promotion of the little ones and the 6th graders. Balloon arch, food, performance, preparation all came through because of the help of the community.

We started the day with nakatamales which were super good and filling. It takes a whole day to make these delectable things. Everyone looked their very best. Franksuat cut his hair and wore his robe and cap.

We took pictures of everyone and everything! It was such a special occasion and proud moment for the families and friends. The ceremony was a long but but a fun celebration, nevertheless.

After lunch we went downtown to buy gifts and attend Eleazor's graduation. We didn't make it in time but found them at the bus stop. So we drove back to church, had worship at the church and continued the celebration.

Now about brotherly love, we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another. "
