Busy weekend!

This weekend started off with a ladies conference for missionary women hosted by Pearlene Nolan from Snyder, Texas and a group of ladies that came with her to bless us.

Chici, director of Rehoboth, Sandra, director of the Nicaragua Rehab Center, and myself (Naomi) drove out on Thursday afternoon. The next two days were full of worshipping God, attending many meetings, fellowship, and not to be forgotten, the food! When we arrived there were treats and Bible verses on our beds and the next two mornings while we were out, more scriptures and treats would appear on our beds.

It was a good time to rest, reflect on God, and get to know each other better as well as meet new people. One of the new people I met was someone who others had met the year before and mistook me for her. Several times. We have now become friends and I will be a surrogate auntie to her kids. :)

Chici was able to meet up with other friends who have been missionaries here for a long time, and she has known them for more than 15 years.

We came home Saturday afternoon feeling refreshed and ready for the next team to visit. This team was from Texas and they had been here the year before and had brought everyone new crocs. This year was no different. They came with bags full of new crocs.

The fitting process was very "scientific" and there were many people who wanted to make sure the shoes were perfect. Not too small with a bit of growing room as well.

Toni, excited with his new crocs.

Angel, Engler, and Felipe. (I caught them at a bad moment. They were very happy with their crocs)

Edgar, Miguel, Moises, and Jose

Luis, Geovany, Dennis, Fito

Even I got a new pair of crocs. Noe is helping me show them off. :)

There was also lots of time to run around and play soccer with the new soccer balls, play on the playground equipment, and totally wear out the visitors!

They left many other things for us as well, crayons, soccer balls and basket balls, peanut butter (expensive here, definitely a delicacy!) and many other things. We were blessed to have them play with our kids and leave many gifts.

It was a busy weekend and today the kids are back to normal, wearing their crocs with pride!
