Nicknames for 17 Nica Disciples!

I jotted down the nicknames for each of the disciples when we were in the air! I wanted to share about them here for us to remember something about each other from this trip! Ta-Da!

I love reread about each of us and see how God created each of us uniquelly!

Alyson- Bridge Watcher
She always added or corrected the translator, so she had to watch Danny's translation to be able to spot any problem and give the aid! She daydreamed once to found Danny struggling, oops! So she got herself up and kept her watch!
Anne Marie- Root Cutter
She trimmed the roots from the deep pit to make the way for the digger! She also ran under Jon to be his spotter in case if he falls. She knew how to bring a sunshine to the team or to the kids! Oh yeah, she is a teacher! She knew how to cut roots right and let them bloom!
Ashley- Stuffed Crust
She once hide her second plate under the table because she felt bad that she took the second! But with many eyes on her, she pulled out the second plate and land it on the top! Hilarous! Oh yeah, I am concerned about her!
Bill- "I'm All Good" Guy
He once claimed that everyone keep on asking him if he needs a seat because he is the oldest person in the group. But he is allright! He worked hard, often caught him closing his eyes for a while! But he interpreted ceaselessly with his expression in a full motion! Yeah he's all good!
Daniel- Tearer of Communication Barrier
He discovered that he had to translate Spoken Spanish into Spoken English or the other way! Now he realized that he just took over his wife's role! He is like an intpereter for the whole week! He smiled as he saw through the wall he tore to see his wife's glowing eyes!
Dasha- Undercover Ironwoman
We often see Dasha in different spots, sweeping the floor, hammering the walls, talking to Spanish people, and everywhere! We couldn't expect what she will do at the moment, she walked around to find the gap and filled herself in strong!
Diana- Blanket Carrier
She made sure that everyone is okay. She checked with everyone to be sure that we got enough water. She opened herself to us. She laughed. She cried. She smiled. She spreaded her arm wide. She touched.
Dominque-Tattooed Ankles
She is dangerous because she is tall and her ankles was tattooed! But if you looked closer, you will find out that her ankles aren't tattooed but webbed with an unique band-aid! That's what she is, unique and charming! She will flip her braided hair over her shoulder and grin!
Eleasha- People-Hopper
She sat far away, sat close by, or sat somewhere else! She hopped into my room and started a "line-up massage" once. So, we ladies enjoyed our massage to relieve our soreness! Like an island-hopper, she hopped over each person.
Elissa- Professional Wheelbarrow Trainer
She once lifted me up in a wheelbarrow in front of a camera. She also lifted someone else in a wheelbarrow in front of camera I believe. She kept herself clean as she kept her full focus upon her assignment! She had her hair up and rolled properly for the work!
Jason- Clown-Eyes Giver
He gave us his sense of humor, he once caught Elissa commenting her husband, then he asked Shelly and Anne Marie to see if they have any comments! They were befuddled, later they realized that they are wives of someone! Jason! He led us by making us laugh! So that we will be ready to follow! Smart-pant!
Jon- St. Bernard in Action
He is an athletic trainer at Gallaudet, but he was St. Bernard in Action in Nicaragua! He will bring the first aid kit. He stretched guys, band aid my blistered finger, eye dropped eyes, taped his wife's wrists for some supports, and much more! He also washed our feet (literally)!
Kari =) - Rosie the Riveter Syndrome
She is obsessed with her hard work! Sometimes people heard her breath and told her, but she kept on shovelling or hammering til she was ready, or willingly, to stop! She often talk about Rosie and even persuaded other three gals to pose like Rosie the Riveter for the picture! We can!
Kathryn- Well-Dressed Wheelbarrow Runner
She was dressed up properly for the first day of work to show how expert she was in dressing up! She had handkerchief around her neck and working clothes on! She often accomplished the wheelbarrow task by running fast upon the top of the hill to dump the soil or rocks victoriously!
Priya- Moments Capturer
She took a total of 1,200 pictures of us, including herself! She also taped some videos! She kept her eyes open for any greatest moments that she should capture and TA-DA! She showed us some pictures to encourage us in our hard working. We worked hard hoping for some greatest moment to be captured (to show our "macho")! Framed!
Shelly- Pluck-n-Fill Commander
She had to count every head, carry some snacks, gloves, water bottles, and etc. She pulled some people out to tell them that they need to rest! She provided us gloves to protect our hands. She ran to stand behind Jason to be his spotter in case if he falls. Need anything, she will take care!
Rusty-Sledge Hammer Hulk
He will grab the 20-25 pounds sledge hammer and hit the tiles or walls with it in a full motion! He will lift it up high, then swing it down in a full body motion. Cracked! The bricks will fall down or the tiles will crack! He also walked tall among us. He also showed his tae-kwon-do skills to the deaf students at the school!
