Hey everyone!

 

Like the post from Chad said we did finally make it to Nicaragua last night. Our plane landed a little after 7PM local time and after a car ride to the city we'll be calling home for the next month we collapsed in our beds around midnight. The collapse into the beds didn't happen until we got a friendly surprise greeting by our hosts, Tommy and Linda Gabel, and a handful of the youth from the neighborhood that were eager to meet us.

 

The blessing of sleeping in was much appreciated. And when we eventually rolled out of our beds about 10 this morning the doors of this new journey were opened. There are going to be many different opportunities to be a part of this next month as we work alongside of New Song here in Candelaria. Lindsey has already been a help to Linda by using her Spanish to interpret a meeting. Katie found all the cute kids. Rebekah got to hear the testimony of one of the women the cleans - she shared a Spainish Bible that she brought and even highlighted some parts truth concerning identity in Christ. And Liz is jumping at a chance to go with Linda to visit schools with another American team coming tomorrow.

 

 Things may sound a little vague...it's probably because this team and I really want to ask/seek the Lord in His direction and calling for each of us each day. There are many opportunities to serve but its the depth of our own relationship with God and the relationships with the people we are around that will really be our focus. 

 

Keep praying for us! Thanks for the LOVE!
