Faces of Nicaragua

Hello friends! I am writing this post from Nicaragua. I have been here for 7 days now and at this point I am way too emotional and tired to type but thought you would like to see the faces of Nicaragua. What a beautiful people. I may have energy to write a few captions....we shall see.

This little girl is holding the photo I gave her of herself. She carried it around all day....


I think this lady had never seen a photo of herself. Many of them, most of them had not. We are serving in remote villages. She kept kissing me on the cheek and saying "Gracias, Gracias."

This man approached me and said "foto"..."foto" and as I said "ci, photo", he pulled out his new glasses Dr.Scott had given him. He was sooooo proud. Again, he had never seen a photo of himself.

More later. Will be home soon, emotionally exhausted. Thank you for your prayers, I need them now and during my transition back home. I have a feeling it may be hard. This is quite a different life, friends. Quite a different life....all the same God. Woosh.

Steps of Obedience....

Big day in Biggie's life....

Grandaddy got to pray for him afterwards.

Our buddies, whom we love :) So happy that came to support biggie in this step of obedience.

My sis and her hubby and baby Jackson came out for support as well.
Big happy family....
I am so excited about what the Lord is doing in biggie's life. I can see growth in his little heart. We got him a new Bible, journal, and Bible case for a gift. He wants to read it and journal all the time. I have been noticing he is really listening, taking notes, and journaling during the services. During our small group that is a family small group he has really been participating and asking great questions. It's so amazing to see God work in your kids lives. Truly amazing. What an answer to prayer!

Is he perfect? Nope. Am I? Uh...nope. Is anyone? Nope...well, there was one but his name was Jesus. I am so glad biggie has been justified. Christ died for him and he is forgiven. God is so good. I am so glad that God has called biggie unto Himself. So thankful.
