Ay, hoy fue fenomenal!

Wow, three days down and I still have to remind myself that I'm here and get to enjoy the Lord's presence so far away from home. It's starting to feel like home here, too. This morning I got up and came to the kitchen for the grand nica coffee. Again, like spenc said in the last post, he somehow knew I was up and came trouncing in. We sat and had breakfast with Fide and then we talked about the Lord and a passage in Luke for a good while. Everyone went around and said what they felt the Lord was teaching their heart. Even Roberto came in as we were talking and brought a new revelation to the table. After breakfast we went with Fide, Big Rafi, and Roberto to take new school shirts to a town called La Pearla (I think that's how you spell it?) which was right past La Escalera for everyone who's been there before. Once we got there, we talked to the teacher and she had just not felt like teacing so she cancelled school for the day. crazy. The kids all come from no telling how far away everyday and she just cancels school? :( so we couldn't give them their shirts and see them, but tomorrow maybe we will go again. We went over to La Escalera also to see the kids. That was awesome. The cafeteria is pretty much done and it looks so good thanks to all the teams that worked on it including us. They told us that a medical team recently performed a surgery in the room for storing the food and showed us some pictures of it. Really cool. We came back here and had pork chops with potatoes for lunch. Roberto was our Jefe (boss) again today and we went to work painting another room while it was absolutely monsoon-ing right outside the open windows (all the windows are always open by the way, fresh air and natural light fill the house. so wonderful.) Then we cleaned up and we both took siestas! Que bueno no? When we woke up we ate some dinner and spent a long while out on the patio by the garden talking with Omar and Fide about anything and everything. We were all talking and laughing and having a good time. It was so obvious how much passion and devotion that they had for the Lord and for serving His people. Omar is going to teach us all about the history of Nicaragua and I told them Josh would love to sit down and hear all of it so let him know that I have a history discussion waiting for him when we comes. So tell him to do his research :). Now Spenc and I are just sitting at the kitchen table reading, talking about different things the Lord is teaching us and soaking up all the bendiciones (blessings) that the Lord is pouring into us. But now, I think it's time for bed. ha, only 9:20 here but I'm exhausted.
Dios les bendiga, y todo es tuani!
