Mission: Bonete

Alright, the internet is working tonight, so let's get some pictures up for everyone to see.  Our experiences so far have included:

• a visit to an active volcano
• unwanted bedroom visitors (frogs, spiders and scorpions, oh my!)
• trench digging
• painting
• tortilla making
• authentic Nicaraguan meals
• mixing concrete
• a huge afternoon thunderstorm
• bilingual worship
• testimony sharing

And many, many more things! We can see God moving already in the relationships being developed, the strength and endurance of our bodies, and the beautiful scenery and people around us. We are being stretched and challenges in different ways, but we are also utilizing the various gifts and talents of our team. 

Here are a few pictures from the last couple days:

Digging trenches for the plumbing

Needless to say, we are looking forward to a good night's rest tonight so we can gear up for another full day tomorrow. Please continue to pray for our bodies as we adjust to the extreme heat and humidity, energy for the days ahead, and for everything to continue running smoothly! We also ask that you pray for our team as we work to overcome the language barrier and develop relationships with our new friends.

Until next time!
