Soli Deo Gloria

Coming to Nicaragua, I had no idea of what to expect. I have absolutely enjoyed this experience. There has been one adventure after another & not a day happens how you would expect it to, which is great! Growing with the team & becoming a family has helped so much. To see everyone come together & step in to do things for God is so encouraging. The lifestyle is so different from what I am used to, but not just from being in a new country, sharing a room with 11 other girls & spending all your time with 14 other people defintitely changes things, but I totally love it. We have...

Training camp to Nicaragua

It felt like the last two days of camp (Sunday and Monday) really felt like they went by quickly, it felt like it was time for us to go.  We went to seminars for most of the day on Sunday.  We talked about ways to talk and share our testimonies and give a short sermon.  Then we talked about our countries and what will be some things to expect there.  That night we all got together to pray for each other.  It was a great experience.  Then on Monday we finished our paintings and had some time to journal and set up our...

Mi Familia Nueva

Two months never sounded so long as when I sat in my new bed at La Quinta late Tuesday night. The air was hot and muggy, our filtered water was almost unbearable and our walls were home to a rather unassuming pair of geckos. Our host, Juanita, had sweetly watched the fifteen of us pile into our three-bedroom, two-bath home, and though we were pleased to find that we had running water and enough mattresses for everyone I think we were all realizing how difficult our next eight weeks might be. I was both terrified and thrilled that I would probably have to rely on God more than I ever had in...

Training time

These past four days at camp have been amazing.  It is amazing to see how god's been preparing us all to go.  The way that we have prpared is by having a camp out night where our whole team all slept with two tarps.  One that was actually beneath us and the other that covered over us as our roof.  The men on our team (only 4) were really kind to sleep in the corner so all the girls could sleep and fit without being on top of each other.  This was the first night we were there! And this happened after we had the full...
