The day started with a trip to a store called Price Smart. This place is the identical twin to what we know as Sam's Club. We literally felt like we were back in the states, it was quite a trip. At the store we picked up a birthday cake for Angela's daughter, Sharon. Sharon turned 12 today and they threw her a birthday party! The cake was our mission, hence the trip to Price Smart.
We couldn't stop talking about Charity and New Hope Children's Foundation so Rip asked us to take him to El Crucero to be introduced to the gang. Charity and Rip talked grown-up jargon about missions, Nicaragua and politics. They decided to keep in touch to collaborate on Charity's foundation in the future. Rip really enjoyed meeting the children and being introduced to a wonderful organization.
Sharon's birthday party was next on our list. We got to spend some time with Caitlin and it was so nice to be reunited with her (hey, 5 days feels like an eternity!). Sharon had a great time at her bash playing games, opening presents, and eating cake. Towards the end of it the children decided it would be a good idea to climb the tree like a bunch of monkeys (see photo below). We had a great time.
In the evening Rip took his three beautiful interns to a little Italian restaurant overlooking a lagoon. The pizza was amazing. We had a blast laughing together. I bet we are driving Rip absolutely insane already! We are now having a sleepover with Caitlin and look forward to our busy day tomorrow. Over and out.
I am today what yesterday has made me; tomorrow I shall be changed by today's experiences.
