Painting, Soccer, sweat... and NINJA!!!

   Woke up to a beautiful, sunny day. But of course that doesnt mean anything in Nicaragua. We go from sunshine to rain and clouds back to sun in 1.5 seconds straight. Another work day today at the church, finishing up some conrete work, the stairs look great! Good job guys! Got some painting done in the sunday school rooms, sanding rusty bars and painting is messy work, but it was an awesome experience to get to serve and humble ourselves. All the guys who worked on stairs the past couple days finally got the chance to go out and experience Nicaraguan culture. Handing out pamplets from the church, door to door, house to house. They have some awesome stories! Especially Ethan, next time you see him ask him about his awesome God-breathed experience.  
   After lots of hard work, sweat and dirt, and also quite a few laughs, we finished up around lunch time. We went to the local mall where they had a Papa Johns pizzeria, oh my goodness. We ordered waaaaaayyyyy to much pizza, still have 4 boxes in the fridge. But it was really good! After lunch we headed back to the Christian group home, showered up and had some just relaxation time. Layed out on the hammocks for a little while. I broke a mug. To much swinging hammocks... LOL. Made a rule, no blow darts till 5 o'clock.
   At 5:00 pm, we left on the bus with our trusty driver louis, on our way back to the church for the weekday church service. When we got there, we had lots of greetings to make, lots of holas and buenas. Started the service off with some worshiping in spanish. Wow. That was absolutely amazing! Although half the time we had no idea what we were singing, but you could just feel God working. It was awesome to be able to share that time with them, even though there is a slight language barrier, we could still all come together and worship the same God. Prayer and a very nice introduction from brian in spanish of course, some more songs. After all that we proceeded with our "Everything" skit. Im sure you'll be seeing a video of it at some point. We prayed that we would be able to present the skit in a way that it could be understood by the Nicaraguans. I honestly truly believe that God was working through the skit tonight. Next came a sermon from Donnie, translated by brian. When an alter call was called in the prayer, nearly half the church was up there. Including our team. 
   After sermon, coffee and fellowship with everyone, some craziness and ninja of course. I almost thought the kids would never let Daniel leave, they literally tied him to the bus. Just hanging out happened after that. Im running out of time, everyones yelling at me. so this is all. Ttyl. hope alls well.
