Smiling is the same in every language

Hello Everyone!! Well it was another amazing day here in Nicaragua yesterday. We all were pretty tired by the end of the day. We had a great day and yesterday two young men accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior. This morning we had three young men accept as well. It has been so great to see how much these young men have changed in such a short time. The kids have also picked up frisbee. They love to run around and throw it back and forth, especially now that they have the form down. They also think its funny to throw six at you at one time and run around to grab them. Also yesterday we had our Ladies Bible Study. It was such an amazing evening words can't describe. There are 20 women who come on a regular basis and they were challenged to each bring one friend. By the end of the night over 50 women had shown up! Terra was able to share her testimony with the women and she did an amazing job. The women were so glued to her story. After that we wanted to pamper and love on the women so we had set up tables and painted each of the women's nails. These women were so excited and beaming that we were taking time to paint their nails. It was a lot of fun but hard at times because of the language barrier. We have all learned how important hands and body language is. Well that was a bit from the day yesterday and some of the things I experienced. I hope everyone is doing well back home. Please continue to pray as tonight is our big presentation of all the work the kids have been doing on learning some new spanish and english songs.

God Bless.

WHAT UP, AMIGOS & FAMILIA?!
Henry here! This is the first time that i've blogged since before I left for the trip. We have one computer here so time is usually limited..but that's okay. It's been nice to update facebook and send an email to my momma :) I've fallen completely in love with the people here. In the morning we have the kids up at the windows yelling, "Emily! Emily" in their precious accents. All you have to do is walk outside and your name will be shouted with much excitement. Everywhere we go you can be certain that you'll be greeted with a smile and an "hola!" Yesterday, I got to to into downtown Masatepe and bought some cake for our women's tea last night. I got to ride in this thing called a "motor taxi" and it was AWESOME!!! People do drive like crazy though...definitely not like suburbia KC (shout out!) There are so many things and experiences here that have been indescribable. It wouldn't be right to even try to type them. The moments and emotions are something that I'll treasure in my heart forever. God is very real and very powerful, no matter where you go. Whether it may be Anaheim, California, downtown KC, or a little village up in the mountains of Nicaragua, God is the same. God is very present in this town and it's such a cool thing. Hope you all are doing well. I must say the food here is definitely not Taco Bell. It's muy delicioso!
It's time to get my frisbee & plato, plato, ganzo (duck, duck, goose) on!
