Did you happen to see the sky yesterday? The way the clouds were so defined while whispies were floating around them was so incredible! Ever since Nicaragua God has really been showing me how to appreciate what he has created. Look around and think about the intricate design behind EVERYTHING. currently i’m looking out my window and i can see a huge maple tree. This tree is made up of trillions [plus some!] of molecules that fit perfectly together to form what we call a “tree.” the leaves are filled with veins to transport nutrients that are gained through the thin walls of the roots. These leaves then change color in accordance with what kinds of minerals they are given and their environment. Even sticks that are dying are made up of trillions of rings of cells. No two trees in the entire world are alike.
To me, that just speaks volumes of God’s unique creativity and love for detail. And this holy God who should [!VOIMP!] us out of existance because of our sin chooses to sacrifice so that he can show himself to us. how AWESOME.
Jesus is beautiful. I challenge you, and myself, to get close enough to his face so that we can begin to see how truly beautiful he is.

Hola folks! Well our day started out nice and early with us rushing to Hosanna church for morning services. (This church has 7000 people who attend weekly.) Service was great and surprisingly, most of the songs were American songs translated so we could happily sing along. After service we were escorted to an area that basically looked like a circus tent where we did a 2 hour program of all the songs, skits, and dramas we knew.
The next part of our day was sweet rest and food! The women here at our house are amazing cooks. Today we had some kind of beef, onion, bean, and pepper stir-fry stuff over rice. It was MAGNIFICENT! We also had a few hours to relax. Some of the boys ran down the block to a park that’s nearby to play some basketball (much to Fergie’s delight) and futbol. Majority though stayed at the house and played killer wink, relaxed, got a shower, and slept. The weather today was also very commendable-slightly muggy but no direct sunlight because of rain and cloud covering. Muy Bien!
After much loved relaxation, we were all herded back onto the van and driven back to Hosanna church for another kids service. God really allowed things to work out really well during service. The kids really responded well and we had a great prayer time at the end. The rest of the evening consisted of a trip to an awesome open-air mall to grab food (They had Subway and Burger King woohoo!) and back to home for an awesome time of worship, devotions, and prayer.
