So much has happened in the last week it's hard to know where to begin. The atmosphere has certainly broken loose since my last post.

     On Monday, the guys returned from their conference on the other side of Nicaragua in Puerto Cabezas. They saw God move tremendously in healings and in prophetic words given to them. Then, on Tuesday night as Roger, Rhonda, Heath, Tim and I sat in the living room we began to worship the Lord together and to pray. The flood I told you I was waiting for before certainly came on Tuesday night. The presence of the Lord was sweet that night! It's hard to put it into words. Through it I have learned my purpose for being here, received some guidance for my future and have peered into the realm of a deeper relationship with my Heavenly Father.

    Though it was bittersweet to see Tim and Heath leave, (I got my bed back that I had given up for them...but their company is missed) It marked the beginning of other ministry work that has already taken place.

     I wrote before that we packed over 300 school supply packages last week. We delivered them on Thursday (I think. They days have been running together. lol) The schools here work on half-days, the younger grades working in the morning and the high school grades working in the afternoon. So, we all got up early to deliver the packages. We set out and went past the outskirts of town into the very rural areas. The roads we traveled on would not be considered roads in the States, maybe not even trails. Once we got to each of the schools, the teachers and kids were incredibly grateful for all the supplies they were given. You can look at my photo's post for pictures of the day.

    Yesterday, Sunday, we went to a nearby minster's home where they hold a children's church. We had some worship with the kids and a little Bible lesson. Then, we helped them make keychains, hearts and bracelets for their moms for Mother's Day (which is at the end of this month here). We also taught the kids how to play a new game called ninja and they loved it. I think we started something big.

     The kids here are beautiful and just longing to be loved. I was able to learn some of the kids' names and work with them one on one, stumbling through with my spanish. :P I learned that Francisco and Erica (the leaders of the children's church) hold services three times a week. I've been given the opportunity to work with them a lot while I'm here and I'm definitely going to take them up on it. Once I learn the words to the songs, I'll be leading some worship for the kids, helping them with crafts and games as well as probably helping some of them with their English homework on the side. I'm so excited or the doors that the Lord has opened up.

    I added some more photos to my album, so I'll repost the link for them below. God bless you all! :)
