Today we said goodbye to El Chaguite. As predicted, we shed some tears and it was very difficult. A great start to the morning with our attending the worship service with the other members of the community. It was a wonderful time of fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ, and we enjoyed Daniel's message and the music.
For our closing message to the community we formed a circle with our local friends and with all of us holding hands, with the following spoken words:
- Holding hands represents the power and strength we have as a community
- The circle shape represents the never ending love and connections we have made over this trip
- We all share the same sky
- We all move on the same earth
- The circle shape represents the never ending love and connections we have made over this trip
- We all share the same sky
- We all move on the same earth
- Some have different possessions, different cultures and different opportunities, but making the most of what God gives us is the gift we are encouraged to give to each other and ourselves
- Your kindness and compassion has enabled us to open our hearts and minds to new experiences
- The love you have for each other is inspiring
- Thank you for sharing your gifts and love with us
Thank you Georgia for the great idea to do this and your inspiring words. We're proud of the work we did towards building El Chaguite's pre-school and the personal connections we made with such a wide cross section of their community. These are very special people!

Tomorrow we're on to Granada to see the Masaya market, Mombacho Volcano and old part of the city, before going home on Tuesday. Thank you El Chaguite for sharing your gifts and love with us.
Until the next time.
