calebaustin - Gloria Dios!!!!!!!!!

okay well that is it the teem is done with the first part of the trip and tomorrow we will be on our way home to see friends and family.

This last week we were at an orphanage on an island in lake Nicaragua.... the time we spent there was very laid back. I worked in the garden and helped clean up the area. There were some other things that the team did, like one of the girls watched all the little kids from the morning till lunch, then 2 of us a day went to a free clinic in the town of LA, then another 2 went to a feeding program..... Okay, well that was mostly our ministry for the week other then just hanging with the kids.

My personal favorite time on the island was the hike up the volcano, it was so great to be hiking again with some good friends, but some of the team liked it more then others....... We got up at 5:00 to eat breakfast and have all our stuff ready, then we got in the buses and headed off to the volcano. When we got there I was asked to carry a 3 liter bottle of cola in my backpack, and yes I did it......

The first part of the hike was not so bad it was dry and not all that steep, but about 1 hour into it it got steep, I held up okay for awhile but with 3 liters of cola in my pack I was vary tired, then 2 hours into it I gave it to my friend Joe Carter; he took it better then I did. About 2:30 in we got to a very wet area, there was a drop off, and in some places your whole foot would get stuck in the mud, there was a lot of people that did not like it and when we got to the crater; 2 of the team members tried to swim but the water was too shallow and they were sinking in the mud. We ate and headed back to the buses, the climb back up out of the crater was hard but fun, at least for me. I thought it was cool to climb up a mud covered crater..... Well ,after that I hung back with 2 of the girls that were having trouble getting down the volcano, then once we made it to the look out point I called my friend Jordon back in the states and told him what I was doing and what I had done..... it was by far one of the best hikes I have ever done it did not have the same end as most of my hikes do but it was fun none the less.....

Oh, I have a praise to share with you all. A friend of mine from Hoger Crea recently finished the program and is now living with his family in Granada. I did not know if he was doing okay or not. I pray for all the guys in the Program and I was happy to see him walking down the road near Euro café. I almost missed him, he was so different form the guy that I first met all those weeks ago. I asked him how he was and his answer was simple, Gloria Dios! I was over come with joy to see that he was doing so well; we talked for awhile and then I told him that I was leaving tomorrow to go home for the holidays, I said good bye and I hope that I see him again.......
