Wow! Time has flown by! I can't believe our week in Nicaragua is almost over. Today we said goodbye to Juigalpa and traveled back to Managua. A few of us went zip lining over a volcanic lagoon. We also stopped by an arts and crafts market for a little souvenir shopping. As we were walking through the shops, a man who spoke a little English stopped Melonie and said he could read her T-shirt. She was wearing her LBC missions T-shirt that says "Not Ashamed of the Gospel" on the front. He said he was a Christian and he wanted our team to come together to pray with him for his family. It was so cool to meet him and pray with him in the market.
We are about to go have dinner in our hotel in Managua and then try to get some rest. We have to be at the airport very early tomorrow morning!
It really is hard to believe that our trip is coming to an end. It has been such a blessing to work with Pastor Omar. I am so thankful that he is serving The Lord by doing what God has called him to do. We were also blessed with our wonderful translators, Bethany and Daniel! They did a fantastic job and worked so hard. It's still amazing to watch how they can switch back and forth between English and Spanish. We also met Josh who is the summer intern with Crosspoint in Nicaragua. It has been great getting to know him and work with him this week. We made wonderful friends at each church we visited, including our sweet friend Rafael. He's a 15 year old boy who spent several days with us out in the field. He is learning to speak English and he has such a precious spirit; so, we've had a lot of fun with him around. Even though we met everyone just a few days ago, it feels like we've all been friends much longer than that!
It's been a great week. Please pray for safe travel home tomorrow! We will see you all soon!
