We arrived in Nicaragua Tuesday at 7:30pm and arrived at la quinta around 10 Nicaragua time. We have a house with 3 rooms one room has 11 girls, 4 in another and the two boys have their own room. Our first full day we hung out, organized our living situation, walked the compound and took a couple naps and attended our first church service. Later that evening we recieved our assignment. We were told that we were going to be street evgangelizing. This means we are going to be dancing and preforming dramas in the street to get the people in the barrios out of their homes and into the...

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...

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...

With All Creation I Sing Wednesday was our first church service. It was our very first day here and I was expecting a look around, get to know the place day, BUT it was church day. I was a little rattled/frayed because I wasn’t sure how I was going to fit in/how to get meet the people or what to say. As church started, they started singing songs that we knew. Of course it was in Spanish, but they were song I’d heard and grown up to. It was a little calming to be able to at least...

We went into the barrios for the second time yesterday. We visited many homes and prayed over many people, but one family in particular stands out in my mind. We were invited by a woman into her home to pray, and our group stepped into a one room house, no bigger than my living room. I counted nine people inside, including a couple of young children, and for these nine people were two beds, two chairs, and a small fire in the corner of the room holding a medium sized pot of simmering soup. Sitting on one if the beds was a baby, probably about 18 months old, and the woman told us that...

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...
