Monday Off

I realize I am a day late with the Valentine pic, but in China we were half a day ahead with everything, so this should help balance things out.

We had Washington's Birthday off (today), not in honor of our first President, though... yesterday was the 154th anniversary of the founding of Matagalpa... we thought it the perfect opportunity to get out and explore a little, so we drove north through the villages and towns tucked away in the beautiful mountains in this region of the country.

We stumbled on Cascada Blanca (White Falls) Eco Lodge just 30 minutes up the road.

It's back to work tomorrow, helping 243 young people prepare themselves for the tasks God has in mind for each of them... by doing the one He has called us to do!
