This morning was absolutely amazing. We went to the Baptist church again with Fide and Omar, and during the first few songs, I just felt the presence of the Father so evident in my heart. I have always had a heart for the Nicaraguan people, but during that time this morning, I almost felt like the Father was crying out through me for them. If that makes any sense. I was crying out on behalf of all of the children I have met in the villages, that their hearts would remain fixed on Christ, even though all they see around them tells them otherwise. I was praying that his presence would continue to rain down on their lives, and that they would continue to grow up in the love of the Father. I felt like I got a glimpse, just a glimpse, of the purely passionate love that Christ has for the people of Matagalpa. Oh, and after we finished singing, which by the way, Morgan sang Beautifully, I looked outside and it was raining. God's love was raining down on the city of Matagalpa. Straight from the Father, I know.
We had lunch back at the house with Omar Jr.'s family. Jazmine, his daughter, once again stuck to me like glue. She is so precious. At 2, Rober came by and took Morgan and me on a walk. Chuga, his roommate, came with us as we went to the park. It was nice to be out and walking around the city. We also got smoothies as well at a little shop. Needless to say, they were good.
Tonight, Big Rafe brought his family over, and we all basically trained for the circus. I started calling Rober and Big Rafe, Barnum and Bailey, ha. They juggled for a while, and then Chuga and I jumped in, and somehow by the end of the night we had a baseball game going on. Morgan, Rober, and me versus Big Rafe and Chuga. After the tent went down, Morgan and I put together our activities for tomorrow morning. Second grade special ed, here we come!
Love you all so much,
Spence
