Our flight to Nicaragua went very well, and we got through customs with no problem. When we made it out of customs, we discovered that the luggage didn't make it for 9 out of 10 of us. Along with more clothes and our personal items, we had a lot of VBS and Bible study material in our checked bags to use.  But above all, we know that God is in control and nothing takes Him by surprise.  God has provided for every single need.  This just teaches us that while we are praying that our luggage makes it back quickly, we still want to give God the glory for everything He's provided during this circumstance. Plus, I'm expecting that God has something big in mind for this week and we've just got to trust Him and be obedient! 

We started out the day with a Sunday morning worship service. Hebron Baptist led us in some songs in Spanish and then Ellie and Shelby led us in a few songs in English. 

After that, Denise, Macey, Jodi, and Allie took the kids back for children's church while Page shared a few words with the church about what it means to be a disciple. 

After lunch, we had a fun afternoon playing volleyball with the youth at Hebron Baptist Church. Most importantly, we got to share the Gospel with a group of young men that came to play. 

Later we had a Sunday evening church service where Jodi and Shelby played while our translators Tavo and Jasmine sang. 

We are looking forward to a great Monday and seeing what the Lord has planned!
