Well, today is the last day of team ministry for us. Yesterday we went to a little town just outside of Managua to hold two fiestas and a service, and today we will be doing the same thing again. Tomorrow we will (hopefully) be going to Masaya Volcano with the team, where we will get to actually go to the top of the volcano and look in, and then do some shopping and such.

We have not gotten to visit Masaya (the meaning of which you can gather!), so I hope we’ll be allowed to go.
We can’t wait to come home on Tuesday. Our last few days we will get to rest, so it will be a nice wind down from the trip. We will be staying at the Robinsons again when Terry (who we’re staying with) and Paul (another intern) leave for Honduras sometime this weekend. We’re glad not to be going back to Honduras, because I was having a lot of problems with my asthma while I was there. Hopefully we will get to visit Sisteo’s (Terry Steiden’s favorite restaurant here) and The Tavern (Lucila, one of our translator’s, family’s restaurant).

Also, Monday is a holiday here- some sort of Catholic religious day to honor Mary, in which the kids basically trick-or-treat. Should be interesting, from what I hear. Maybe they dress up as the pope or something.

Well we will see you all in just a few days- we keep talking about what restaurants we are going to visit when we get home, and all the things we want to cook. Most of all I think we both just want to take real showers in warm water and then get out and sit in the air conditioning.

Love you all and miss you!
