Thursday, June 9, 2011 Nicaragua

Back at the team house in León for the night. We finished up our fiestas and other ministries and packed the van and left for 'home' about 3:30pm. We made it in to the team house a little before 8pm. Very tired and glad to be back in the dryer air and heat. The mountains were cool and damp!

We got a lot done this week with the team. Tons of Fiestas, school visits, conferences, radio/tv spots during the day and crusade events each night. The rain affected us a little bit, but we had some plan B options for most of the time. Many salvations. I don't have the total number yet, but I think it has been a fruitful week.

It was cool and damp at the camp. It truly felt like camping in the mountains. I was glad to get back to the hot weather. Everyone was freezing, but I was okay. I only disliked the dampness. All of our clothes, whether worn or not, have to be laundered because of the dampness. But it was a lot of fun to be there this week.

I met a lot of new people on the team and also in the churches of Jinotega. I'm looking forward to keeping in contact with many of them.

I'll be leaving with Kaylie tomorrow morning for Managua to get a hotel room for the night, pick up another intern, meet up with the Jinotega team on their Fun Day excursions, stay at the hotel overnight, escort Kaylie to the airport at 5am on Saturday, meet the Hulsey's and Mary back at the hotel mid-morning for some team shopping in the city and then back 'home' to León on Saturday evening. We're going to Todopoderoso church on Sunday morning and then Las Quimeras church on Sunday night. I hope to be able to get some of my laundry done on Monday. It will be almost 2 weeks of collecting dirty clothes by then. I'm ready to sleep in 'my own' bed here at the team house, too!

God is really blessing the ministry like crazy right now. It is so wonderful to see some of the plans and dreams He has put on our hearts come to fruition. I know it's very exciting for the Hulseys, German and Mary, especially, since they have been working so hard for so many years. God is so good.

I guess I should sign off and get some sleep. There will be many hours in the van over the next few days. ugh! But I'm looking forward to the adventure.
