We're all home...

After a pretty big scare in Houston and a "Home Alone" style sprint through the whole airport...we made our connection by 6 minutes...the reason we needed to sprint for it was because our flight in Managua to Houston was delayed two hours...crazy...but we are all home now...

Could not have asked for a better team...I am so proud of all of them...they were amazing and their attitudes and perspectives were positive all week long...

Later,

Flight Delay...

So we were suppose to leave Managua at 12:15 but now we are leaving at 1:30...that would get the flight into Houston 6:10...our connection starts boarding at 6:35 and leaves at 7:10...pray that we make that connection, because we all have to go through customs and everything...it is gonna be intense...so hopefully we make our connection...Scott if you and Kevin are getting this I will text you once we get on the plane if we make the connection...Hopefully that will be the case...

Love you all,

Justin and The Team.

Safe Landing in Managua

Hey y'all we are here in Managua...at the airport now awaiting our connection to Houston...the flight was quite bumpy at times...but we are here and for that we are thankful...pray for safe travel the rest of the way...everyone is so excited to see you all...

We love you all,

Justin and The Team.

Leavin in Morning

Probably last blog till we land in Houston...sorry...but I need to conserve battery...I will try to add a post in Managua letting you know we got there safely, but we don't have much time between connections, so I am not sure if I will have time...I think we have a pretty long layover in Houston, so I should be able to update it there if there is internet...

We miss you all and look forward to seeing you around this time tomorrow night in Milwaukee...

We love you all,

Justin and The Team.

Today

So far today has been pretty chill...this morning we got up at 5:30 and went to the orphans devotionals...it was amazing...then we went to breakfast and said goodbye to the other group...then we had our own devotional time and talked about Romans 12...and how it says to be transformed...then I asked the question...how has this trip transformed you...and what will it transform in your life in the states...everyone is taking the day to ponder both those questions and then they are going to bring their answers to porch time tonight...
After porch time we went to the house we started building and put the siding on two of the walls...hard work...lots of hammering...by lunch I was ready to invest in a nail gun for these guys...houses would go up in 2 days instead of weeks if they had a nail gun...haha...
Then after lunch we went to the market and got a chance to see where the locals shop for food/clothing/electronics and pretty much anything else...
Now everyone is hanging out with orphans until dinner at 6pm...
Before dinner everyone will need to say goodbye to the orphans...so pray for the sadness of many members of our team...saying goodbye is gonna be hard for many of them...

Thanks again for following our activity on this Blog this week...

Tomorrow it is over...but we are all so excited about this coming Sunday when we get to share what God has been teaching us...

We Love you all,

Justin and The Team.

Church Service

This mornings service...9:00-10:00 Music worship...10:00-11:00 The Word...11:00-11:15 More Music Worship...I wonder sometimes if people in the states would walk out on a church service that was held in 100 degree weather with over an hour of standing and dancing worship...I honestly think we in the states are spoiled...with our air conditioning and 3-4 songs then sit down mentality...Today's worship was AMAZING!!!

We love you all,

Justin and The Team.
