My name is Chandra and I serve this team as its nurse alongside Corwin, our Director, and Kirk, my husband, another co-leader. So, without further adue…. After we had lunch at a Thai food restaurant in the city (I know, Thai food, in Nicaragua? But it was a fun restaurant and so yummy! We were picked up by our guides for our canopy tour. What is that, you ask?

Project Serve Nicaragua 2009: February 2008
http://psnicaragua.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Hello there family and friends…we are in America! We have made it to L.A. safe and sound and are excited to be on our way. It has been a long day of travel, especially since most of us didn’t sleep last night, but we are doing well and we’ll be home soon. Even though there are only 24 hours to go…there are always things to pray about. Continued safety and health; Sarah has been feeling really nauseated since Sunday night and it hasn’t really gone away. Blessings on you always. Posted by Corwin Thiessen.

Project Serve Nicaragua 2009: Filthy Feet
http://psnicaragua.blogspot.com/2009/02/filthy-feet.html
Another day has come and gone down here in Nicaragua and what a day it has been. It seems that every hour here can feel like twenty but, at the end, it all just feels like a few moments. Nicaraguan church services are ones that are not easily forgotten. Many people crammed in a very hot tiny church, a sound system turned up as loud as it possibly can go, and clapping…oh, there is so much clapping. Sometimes you forget that there are even words to the songs because you have to clap so much! Thank you all ...

Project Serve Nicaragua 2009: Exiting Expectations
http://psnicaragua.blogspot.com/2009/02/exit-expectations.html
This is it. The last time I will write to you from my bottom bunk at the team house from the Orfanato Verbo in Veracruz, Nicaragua for 2009. We are all packed and awaiting our departure for the airport. We’ve said goodbye…and now we are coming home. We were so unsure of what was going on. Disappointment spread throughout us. We had invited so many kids from the community to come to Sunday school. Did they just cancel church? The house celebration was a party! It was the perfect way to end our time there.

Project Serve Nicaragua 2009: Construction Concerns
http://psnicaragua.blogspot.com/2009/02/construction-concerns.html
Hello to you all. Today as I write I pray you are well, enjoying the day God has given us. I know we feel down here that each day in its entirety is truly a gift from God…moment after moment in need of processing, cherishing, and savouring. But, this year, this is not necessarily the case. And, in correspondence, we are each finding our faith “under construction” as well. Thank you so much for your prayers, there is in no way any doubt in our minds that we are adjusting to our circumstances on our own...

Project Serve Nicaragua 2009: New Normal
http://psnicaragua.blogspot.com/2009/02/new-normal.html
As you are reading this we are most likely starting our last full 24 hours here. We probably have emotions running high through our minds and hearts and are thinking and feeling things we never knew we could. We are in a bittersweet place…anxious with the thought of home…but heartbroken to think of leaving this place. In the next 24 hours, both emotions will run vividly through us. I felt like all of these people had just loved and left this girl. It made me angry and sad and I felt alone for her. Thank ...

Project Serve Nicaragua 2009: Constant Changes
http://psnicaragua.blogspot.com/2009/02/constant-changes.html
Another day, another change. It seems unending, really, but a good tool to keep us trusting God. The morning went fast and sweaty, the unforgiving sun only avoided by moments of cool breeze every now and then. When it was time for lunch the kids were amazed that it had all gone by so fast. They were excited to eat and get back to work. It was fun to watch the girls smile and laugh and paint with us. And it was like each stroke brought life to an otherwise lifeless room. It was beautiful. At supper the te...

Project Serve Nicaragua 2009: Esso Excitement
http://psnicaragua.blogspot.com/2009/02/esso-excitement.html
Hello again to you all. I’m excited that we have been able to post every day so we can share with you guys what is going on here in Nicaragua. It seems absurd, as I write to you today, that there are only two more full days left here in our new home. Where did the time go? It has swept past us and left us scrambling to just take in as many sights and sounds and smells and tastes that we can before we leave here Monday morning. 8221; at us and waving their little arms off. It was humbling…to rea...The tea...

Project Serve Nicaragua 2009: Loving Letters
http://psnicaragua.blogspot.com/2009/02/loving-letters.html
Buenos Dias. We are thinking of you and praying for you tonight as we fall asleep. We have been reminded tonight of your love and affection for us tonight and are crawling into bed with warm hearts and smiles on our faces. We love you. Tonight as I close, I’ll ask you to pray for these things:. Safety for our trip into the city. That we continue to love these kids to the tips of our fingers. That we cherish the most of our time left here. Know that we are strong and that we are happy. That we see God...
