My first day in Nicaragua started with going to Katie and Iris' church with her and Stephen. When we walked in, a little girl ran strait up and hugged me. It was definitely a warm welcome to Nicaragua.
We sang, clapped, and discussed God's design for the family. I really enjoyed being able to worship God with people I've never met in a place I've never seen. I realized more of how big God is, what a big job the great commission was, but also how amazing it is. We even sang some songs I knew in Spanish from summer camp including Angus Dei and Open the Eyes of My Heart (Abre Mis Ojos). When we sang Abre Mis Ojos, it became a prayer for my time here - that God would open my eyes to see this week, especially in ways that are different than what we expect in the states.
"The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." -Zephaniah 3:17
