It is so hot in Nicaragua in September. Talk about sweating, whew!
Going for the second time was amazing. You are so loved by the people and being apart of the community is nothing like we do it here in the US. I really miss that about Nicaragua, the community and hanging out at night and singing songs together and really slowing down.
God is doing some awesome things in El Empalme, the village we stay in. He is raising up leaders, healing people of addictions and growing his Church.
We had over thiry people go with us from the states and although there were some challenges with some many people and I sometimes found myself annoyed because I have a patience problem it was really wonderful. I would not trade it, I made lifelong friends and we have a bond like no other.
Our building team built three houses! We went in the rainy season and were expecting a lot of rain. The buillding team worked hard to get the houses finished and after three days of work they did and no sooner than they did it poured rain :-) Isn't God so good, that he would send us with a task, help us to accomplish it and then give us glorious rain to signify the end of the work!
We walked around the village in our rain parkas with about three or four kids underneath with us. It was so sweet!
