Nicaragua Update!

Well, I attended my first team meeting last Sunday. There are 12 of us on our team and we are only 3 weeks away from our travels!! We spent a lot of time talking about what we will be doing while there. I am so very excited and nervous at the same time. Looks like we will spend two days at the dump feeding children and other days will be spent on the base at the school. I am working on learning some spanish worship songs and can't wait to teach them some of ours! We are planning fun rhythm and dance games along with bringing PRESENTS! Here's the cool part... We are each going to check a suitcase full of goodies for the kids! We had 300 deflated soccer balls donated and tons of toothbrushes and toothpaste. We are asking anyone to donate any of the items below towards this cause if they'd like. These kids have little or nothing at all and we just can't wait to bring a smile on their face. If you'd like to help out with any of the items please email me and let me know. I can come get them from you and most can be purchased at the dollar store.
