Family adventure day :)



(Samuel's House)

A few weeks ago, we were planning to be in Nicaragua...when we didn't have to go, it gave us an extra Saturday! So... we took the opportunity to hike out to a neighboring community called Sauce ("sahw-seh") where several of the saints live. Since there are no house numbers, we didn't think we would actually get to visit anyone, but we wanted to explore the area - and we needed a destination. We had a great time walking together and were blessed to have one of the men from the assembly drive by just as we got to the outskirts of the community. He was headed into Valle, but took the time to drive us to his house...so that we could find it again. We gladly accepted the coke they bought for us and then their teenaged son was shanghaied to be out tour guide - Eli spent the next hour or so walking with us showing us where everyone else lived. :) We were really hot and tired by the time we walked back to the camp, just in time for a late lunch and quiet time. I was SO proud of the Glory and Levi - they walked the whole way with not so much as a grumble...
in fact, by the end, I think it was us old parent-people who were slowing up Levi's progress. ;)
