The mission team gathered tonight to make final preparations for the trip. We were very pleased to see how many donations have been given by you to take to the people of Matagalpa. The donations included items such as scissors, crayons, markers, shoes, and safety gloves & glasses. Another important item packed was vitamins which can be hard to get in Nicaragua. The remaining space in the suitcases was filled with many supplies to complete some art projects with the community. A lot of pre-work went into the art projects so stay tuned to hear more about this.
The group had to carefully pack the suitcases, take an inventory of each one, and make sure each bag was under 50 lb. Everyone chipped in to make it a successful night. When all was done, there was enough to fill 9 large suitcases and some in our carryon bags. That’s almost 500 lb of donations, gifts, and supplies which we know will go to good use. Thank you again for the support, donations, and help to make this trip happen.
There was a feeling of excitement about the trip in the air and lots of talk about the days ahead. We reflected on our past 9 months of preparation and bonding over some pizza and wings.
We hope you follow along on this blog as we start our journey less than 24 hours. Drop a comment if you can on the blog to encourage us. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated.
