Saturday and Sunday

Saturday:

Today started off very early. We left the house around 8:00 a.m. We picked up our friend Bernie who introduced us to a new mission at a place called El Colegio Maranata. We got the chance to meet a wonderful group of people who have a church and school for the local neighborhood. Rip got to know the lead pastor from this organization and they bonded right away. We got the chance to give a 20 minute bible study and meet the leaders of this church/school. Priscilla translated so much she thought her tongue was going to fall out of her mouth. In the evening Caitlin made us her spectacular spaghetti. We had a great day meeting yet another group of amazing people.

Sunday:

Today we went to Verbo Church to say goodbye to the kids from Casa Bernabe as well as the Poplar Creek team. We couldn't find the church and it was quite frustrating. It was a miracle, but eventually we got there. The air conditioning was out and it was a little bit of a challenge to sit through a 2-hour service in the blistering heat. After the sermon we quickly said our goodbye's to everyone from Casa, it was sad but we had a great time with them this summer! It's great to know that we continued to build relationships with these extraordinary kids. After church we drove out to Masatepe. We ate lunch at Angela and Victor's house which was incredibly delicious (Paz makes the best tacos in the world). In the evening we went to another church service at El Centro De Fe, Esperanze, Y Amor. Rip introduced each of us on the stage and the congregation prayed over all of the mission teams that were there. Today was a very "churchy" day.

We are now on our LAST day here in Nicaragua. We are sooooo excited to come home tomorrow, you guys have no idea. Please please please pray for our travels tomorrow. We only have one hour to get from customs in Houston to our connecting flight. It's a little risky and if we don't make our flight we run the risk of not coming home tomorrow evening! We are pretty anxious about this and are praying that we make it. Thanks for supporting us during this whole trip, we love all of you SO much. Over and Out.

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