Home........Away from Home.....

First I just want thank all of you all for your support over the past few weeks.  We really could not have had the "Adventure" we had without you.  After a long day of traveling we made it back into Charleston,WV around 9 p.m.

I know I missed blogging the last full day of our trip, so I wanted to fill you all in on some of what we did. Two little girls that live next door to my parents made the day of our friends at Remar Orphanage.  They have been to Nicaragua, and experienced how amazing these kids are.  While Mere and I put on a garage sale at my parents house, these little girls set up a lemonade stand next door. They raised just about $100 dollars, and donated it. They just wanted it to go towards the children of Remar.  On Friday, we had a pizza party at Remar. The kids had a blast, and so did we.  They where even more excited when they heard who it came from, and that these little girls cared enough to send them a gift. Thank you Jennings family for caring and loving Nicaragua!!!!

The rest of the time was spent saying goodbyes.  It is very hard to see this trip come to a close.  We learned more than you could imagine, we experienced Nicaragua in a much different way then before,  and made many new relationships that will be very important for the upcoming months and years.  There was a reason for this trip, and much of what we experienced has yet to process.  We will take the next few weeks to think back on the trip and focus on what direction God wants us to take.

Thank you all so much for following us, supporting us, and keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.  More updates will be coming!!!!!

Goodnight from the states,

Uncle B-rad
