Buenos Familia y Amigos!
I was given the duty of writing Fridays blog and with a combination of inhaling Deet, oil based paint and turpentine, I managed to forget to write it!
Friday was our last day spent at the Puerto Cabezas orphanage and we were busy doing all kinds of things.
After yet another delicious breakfast full of eggs, fresh pineapple and pancakes, we headed out to finish painting the Verbo churchs sanctuary. We had one back wall left to do and a few areas to touch up. We were a little more than half way finished and someone told us that it was already 11:45am so we rushed to finish before lunch. We arrive back at our rooms to find out that someone apparently misread the time and it was only 10:30! Oops! I think it was a blessing in disguise because the fumes were stronger that morning since there wasnt much of a breeze. So we took a bit to relax before lunch.
After lunch we headed up to the Orpha, the girls building, to have our last day of Vacation Bible School with the kids! Mimi and Jennifer did a great job of telling the kids their Bible lesson about how we need to take the good news of Christ and share it with their friends. Meanwhile Danni and Heather had a very successful craft in which the kids made prayer journals. They loved them!! The rest of us were chaos control! After they put them together they got to write names of friends to pray for and also write prayers to God. It was truly amazing to see the tenderness in the hearts of these children.
In addition to the VBS, Thomas and Bret went over to the baseball field and played baseball with the guys. Some were from the orphanage but some street kids came as well! It was a great opportunity for them to reach out to the guys.
Our last night together was spent sharing what God had revealed to us and what we had learned while being in Nicaragua. God has and will be doing amazing things with the people on this trip. It will be exciting to see what happens!
I also wanted to let you know that the minor illnesses we had earlier are all better! We thank you all for each one of your prayers this week and we will all see you soon!
Buenos dias,
LAURA HERALD
