Just so you all know, Erin, Jason, and Jeff arrived here on Sunday safe and sound. They walked through the door and we threw them into the mix. They hadn't even been here for an hour before they were at Vida Joven (Spanish for YoungLife) doing bible study with them. Jason walked in and started to sweep out the church with a giant palm branch, which was pretty funny, especially to the Nicaraguans. Somehow, they were able to engage and discuss with the teens here in Spanish on only a few hours of sleep. I was really excited to finally see them again. At Vida Joven, we talked about the parable of the sower. The kids' take on it was really interesting because they actually live in a rural area and see seeds planted, eaten, etc. more than we do. Studying the bible with people from another culture in a different language also gave the story and discussion new depth.
At the end, we gave everyone who came to the Vida Joven bible study some of the bibles that Core donated. None of them had their own, so they were really grateful. Here is the group picture.
Monday and Tuesday we spent in the Villa and they got to meet the children. They jumped right into playing, reading, drawing, and running with them. Some incredibly cute pictures of the last few days follow...

Aww! It's nice to see that you're all doing well. I might as well pray, since that actually has eternal impact on what you guys do:
God, pour out more and more of Your Spirit on Molly, Jeff, Erin, Jason, and Katie in Nicaragua. Release the greater realms of Your Kingdom that You have for them. Make Jesus known, and back it up with miracles, signs, and wonders. Show Your love in extraordinary ways. In Jesus, name, amen!
