Linda's 55 & 4 weddings at Once

Linda is 55 and today between working out and her leaving for Manauga for a day with her best friend, Marcela, i dropped her off 6 roses..She loved them!!

She tried to get 8 trunks of baseball equipment that have been stuck in Managua for 10 months but they are not allowing it...she just told them to send them abck to the US and let the people there get them to teams coming down to avoid anymore problems in customs.

I got some quotes in Candelaria for some quality iron soccer goals..for materials and labor for 2 4 meter by 2.5 meter goals it will be more or less $750 US...i am not getting these right away but wanted to talk with the iron man just to have a start...Rob from IHBC talked about making the see-saw iron instead of wood because it is more or less useless right now...they also got some figures about a temporary tent structure under the tress in Santa Matilde while their church is being built

I helped Alfredo finish adding 4 light bulbs in the storage shed behind the church and 2 15-17 yr old boys, Ariel and Alex, watched learned some part of it, which i loved their interest!

A correction to my earlier post that a teenager feel in a fire out of a tree and has 3rd degree burns on both ankles..it was a 9 year old boy..found out today they cannot treat him at Chichigalpa and was taken to Leon and is not doing well...a young man from La Isla passed away yesterday from kidney failure, which is sadly common here.

60 people were trucked over to Canderlaria from Santa Matilde for the weddings and our entire team of 18 was there....some of the men with cold feet from earlier changed their minds again and Tommy married 4 couples all at once...some as young as mid 20s to 70s..it was different but very well done..Daniel played some good music and the congregations of Santa Matilde and Candelaria both enjoyed it

We all came back at ate at the Mediterranean restaurant and Juanita, Oscar, and Scarleth brought a birthday cake..the IHBC group of 6 flies out early tomorrow morning and will be leaving Leon at 4 am! I will take Paul and Ben on top of the largest cathedral in CA tomorrow and show them around Leon until we go to Candelaria around 1 to have Friday night youth.

Take care God bless,
Diego
