Nicaragua

Hi Friends and Family!
Thanks for being so patient whilewaiting for a new blog. Keeping on top of this is not my strong spot. Well I know many of you want to hear about my trip to Nicaragua so even though that seems so long ago to me, I will start there. It was very short. Two whole days were spent driving and we spent one day at the beach and one day doing outreach. Nicaragua is really different from anywhere that I have ever been. It is hard to describe,but it´s like a different world. One interesting thing that I saw alot were people riding down the streets in carts with horses! Even though I have seen impovrished areas in Costa Rica, there is such a visible difference in Nicaragua with the effects of poverty around every corner. In spite of this, the beach was beautiful. I had such a fun day there catching the waves and laying out with my friends. My favorite part of the whole day was taking a walk with God along the shore, watching the waves and picking up seashells. Later that night I read in a psalm about how his love goes over us like a wave(I´llfind which one it is). The next day for outreach,we did a short presentation for the elementary school that is on the YWAM base. It went really well and it was so fun to spend some time with the kids. Some of the boys had alot of fun chasing me around while holding hairy spiders in thier hands (you know how much I love that;). What was a slightly more fun for me was hanging out with some 4th and 5th grade girls; they liked me alot. When I was walking through the neighborhod later they ran up to me yelling my name and gave me hugs.
