I have some pictures of our last couple of days for you because we took our “excursion day” today in the oldest city in Latin America, Granada and a trip to Masaya where the kids did a little shopping at the famous market. We had a break in the our regular tempo and learned a lot more about Nicaragua and one another. God was with us as he always is and our debrief brought home that point. We look forward to jumping back in to work tomorrow at the same school we worked all day at yesterday

the students eating breakfast nice and early at the Villa

Representing home as they serve far away

we were able to join in a devotional with the villa staff - we sang along in Spanish with them

Dale taught from Philippians 1 on unity and partnership in the gospel - a powerful and perfect word.

We served all day at a public school by playing with kids and fixing up the grounds

the kids were so loving and welcoming - we all had tons of fun interacting with these little ones.

there was a lot of hard work to do to beautify the school as it hadn't been touched in years

we had a youth group time where students and girls from the Villa shared about what God has done in their lives. It ended with the Villa girls praying for us. Powerful.

This final picture has a special place in my heart and might for some time. The prayers of the Villa girls blessed my heart. Amazing.
