Hi parents, family, and friends!
I’m sure that you are all anxiously awaiting your student update for the day, but unfortunately Lauren and I had to call an audible on the update for tonight. We are all waking up at 4:30am tomorrow for the reality challenge of working like a local, which means a morning of had labor on a fair trade organic farm, and as much as you all want your updates, we really don’t want 19 pseudo-farmers falling asleep in the fields or on the livestock, so bedtime has already arrived. Our student leaders for the day, Aileen and Tristan, can’t wait to give you all the details on today’s global business fun (which included a trip to a chocolate factory and a coffee and conversation with a man who works with cooperatives of coffee farmers), so expect a full report tomorrow afternoon!
Hope everything is going well back in the states, and we can’t stress enough how much students love to hear from you in the comments!
Cannot wait for TJ’s update … Tristan dad
Look forward to the update!! I am very impressed that a bunch of teens (one in particular) is getting up so early ;).
(L) Hi Jordyn hope your having an amazing time in Nicaragua! When you get back please text or call me. Hopefully we can get together soon!
(C) Hi! I hope your trip is going great!
Kristen, we miss you. I’m kicking your brothers’ butts in Monopoly, and each day is busy. However, not a single day goes by when I don’t miss your presence at home. You are loved and prayed for. This is the longest you’ve been away from the family, and it’s good preparation for when you go away for college.
Love,
Mom ❤️
Aili-
Can’t wait to hear about your day!
Thinking of you,
Mommy
