Ericka's Nicaragua Trip

I had the opportunity to go on a missions trip to Nicaragua with my church in the beginning of February. The week I was there, we worked at CICRIN Orphanage on the Island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua. A lot of our time was spent getting to know the kids. We did Bible stories, crafts, and games with them. One of the highlights was being able to give each kid a gift that was prepared especially for them. They included socks, underwear, clothes, school supplies, and of course some toys.
Acting out the good samaritan


Gifts
On two of the days, we went to two local churches and did women's and children's ministry. This included songs, a story, crafts, and presents for everyone that came. 


Some of the fun things I got to do....

Hike to a beautiful waterfall

Go swimming in it!
Go to the beach and kayak with all the kids from the orphanage.

Eat DELICIOUS ice cream.

Get to know the kids really well and to be able to play with them.

Eat a whole fish
