Mixing all of that by hand, on the ground, is not easy, especially working that quickly, but we got it done! And then Cappie worked with the family to decorate, aided by a beautiful creation by Larry in honor of the Nicaraguan flag!
Our helper from Habitat Nicaragua, Humberto, started off the ceremony, thanking everyone. Pr. Tom led the team in blessing the house, and Humberto presented Doña Marta with a picture we took with her on Sunday and a Bible, signed by all the team members. Ron and Cappie also had bought a small plant as a housewarming gift. Don gave the mason some tools used by us in the States, as well.
In addition, it was Doña Marta's daughter-in-Law's birthday, so we had cake!
After the ceremony (including a ribbon-cutting), the party began in earnest! We played musical chairs (Lori won!) and there was a piñata, which the kids expertly handled.
All too soon we had to say our goodbyes and head out for our R&R day! We drove first to the market in Masaya for a little shopping before heading into Granada. This is a pretty little town, full of tourists, but we are in a hotel that allows us to do a bit of exploring, too!
