A! En menos que una semana, el grupo viene. que contenta estoy :)
What a day. I always love Sundays back at home and here is no different. We woke up and Dona Fide made us pancakes. Delicious as usual! We caught the bus to church and even before the sun was all the way up, we could tell that today was going to be a HOT one. Church went well. Spenc and I went to Sunday school again and got lollipops. Yum. After church, we went with Roberto, Chuga, and a lot of the young people from the church to eat. Dona Fide and Don Omar had Raf's family over for lunch so we let them have some family time. We watched part of the USA v. Brazil futbol game and everyone was going crazy in that little restaurant. It was just us but we had a big group. Spenc got 7Up with a hamburger which he said was excellent. I got two tacos nica style with this fruit juice that was almost like a thick smoothie. I'm getting good at trying everything mom; I'm trying to make you proud :). After lunch Roberto, Spenc, and I came back to the house and Spenc played with Pallito (Raf's oldest boy) for a good while. Roberto played some guitar and I sang a little. Then the rains came.
Raf's family, Spenc, and Dona Fide all went out for icecream in town and I got to call the fam! Then Roberto and I went back to church for the night service. I sang again with the praise team. I love worshipping in Spanish. It blows my mind to think that there are so many people around the world praising His name in tons of different languages and our God is so great, He understands ALL of them. Tonight at the service there were 4 men from a church in Texas visiting to see what kind of missions work they could do around Matagalpa. One of them preached for the service too. It was weird hearing English being preached there, but cool.
After the service we hung out for a bit because it was raining BUCKETS. Finally Chuga, Roberto, and I starting walking back to the house. We contemplated getting a taxi, but we were having too much fun in the rain. We got back to the house soaked, but laughing. They stayed and ate with me since Dona Fide and Spenc had already eaten. We had beans with queso melted on top with Tostones and Tortillas. It was very good. And to wash it down, some Nica coffee. Doesn't get much better than that folks. Everyone washed the dished together and Roberto and Chuga left a little while ago.
Well, that's pretty much it for today. I'm praying for y'all.
Con carino,
