Day 4...... REALLY??????

It never seems to fail.  You are somewhere you really love and enjoy being, and time goes by twice as fast. But the good news is we are enjoying ever moment we have here in Nica. 

Tonight we are writing from the top of the Buzbees overlook, watching amazing heat lightening, and a listening to the loud cries of the Nicaraguan frogs.  

Today started out with us heading to the Remar church to surprise the boys from the orphanage who didn't know we were in Nicaragua.  We enjoyed an amazing sermon, interpreted by Demo sitting behind us.  Although the language barrier is such a large factor to deal with, the lord always has ways to get his message to you. He did just that today.

After church, we headed to lunch and to check in at the Buzbees at Open Hearts Ministries. (ohearts.org) We will be staying here for the remainder of our trip.  After unloading all of our things, we headed over to the orphanage to spend some time with the boys.  We have been here for 4 days, and had yet to get over to Vera Cruz yet.  The piece of our journey so far that was missing was filled. Meredith and I dominated in some basketball ( not really ) and was reminded how easy and quickly you go from being 100% clean, to being covered in nothing but dirt.  None the less, we enjoyed spending the afternoon at Remar, and will be heading back several more times while we are here. 

Dinner and Dropping Demo off wrapped up another great day here in Nicaragua.  Tomorrow we meet with the NCA, Nicaragua Christian Academy, as well as ABEM, a mission from the Lakeland, Florida area.  We pray for guidance, safety, open minds and open hearts to what we are supposed to receive this week.  Today the pastor spoke of many things, but ill leave you with the verse that spoke to me,

2 Timothy 4: 14-17

¹⁴ But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you. ¹⁵ You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. ¹⁷ God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

Goodnight and Thanks,

Uncle B-rad
