Market Day

Today we decided to take it easy. After going to bed at 2:00 a.m. we were not up to starting the day too early.

We went to the market with Keydi, Isbel (Rip's "adopted" daughter) and her uncle. Isbel's uncle drives taxis for a living and he was our form of transportation for the day. The market we went to was about 30 minutes away but we can't seem to remember what its name is. The usual bargaining took place and Keydi was kind enough to help us out with this. She has really been a blessing to us and is helpful in everything we do. You can say she has become somewhat of a guardian angel.

After spending money frivolously we went back to the grocery store to replenish some needed items. We bought Margaret a cake since tomorrow is her 26th birthday! We sang happy birthday to her (which made us feel like we were back home) and enjoyed some cake. Right after this Margaret and I witnessed a possum (or maybe a rat) walking across our fence and a bat fly right past our faces. It was awesome.

Tomorrow we are going to a location in the middle of Nicaragua and it will take us about 4 hours to get there. We will be staying the night and our return home will be Sunday afternoon/evening. There will be a team of 90 North Americans working there as well. We will have the opportunity to serve in many ways including painting houses, translating, volunteering at a hospital cutting hair (Delanie), and working with a children's ministry. We are all looking forward to this trip and ask for prayers while we are there.

We will not have a computer for the next couple of days so our blogging abilities will be nonexistent : ( But we will tell you all about it when get back on Sunday!

Prayer Requests:

1. Rip found out today that he is still ill and he needs Gods healing hand in this situation.

2. Please pray for our short trip this weekend . We want to be Gods hands and feet as we work on this mission.

I am today what yesterday has made me; tomorrow I shall be changed by today's experiences.

xoxo

Priscilla and Delanie
