Hey its Calah writing today with Kari and Miranda on my sides. We’re continuing the blog from last night, for team 2. Team 2 visited the tent church that we first went to on Saturday when we arrived in Nicaragua. Eric and Shanna Ferguson (the missionaries) picked us up in a van and drove us to the church plant. We had so much fun goofing off and telling jokes. The service was mainly for adults while the children went into a separate building and had their own service. We started off with “Es Mi Rey”, then Burkey gave an awesome testimony, next we did “Puppet Master” (which I got to be a main demon for the first time and it was such a great experience –Calah)

Maryssa gave her testimony which came straight from her heart, then we did “God so Loved”. Kari gave her testimony and shared things for the first time about her life which I was so proud of her for. It’s awesome to see how God can use someone so powerfully. And last we ended with the drama Everything which God always uses us to show his love so strongly. Pastor Jeff preached on being the bride of Christ. So many couple came up for prayer and God healed relationships, told people how to raise their children in an environment filled with God’s love, and made couples seem so much happier because their foundation was now built on Christ. I could feel God working inside of them. After the service we went to dinner at an Italian pizzeria with Eric and his wife and some of the pastoral staff from the church. The food was so delicious.

Now for today…. we went to an active volcano named Masaya. Kari and I rode in the back of a truck and the view was gorgeous!!! When we got to the volcano there were 150 177 steps leading to a lookout over the volcano and the beautiful view that was marked by a cross. It was hard to breathe on the way up because of the volcano smoke, but once we got to the top it was easier to breath.

After the volcano we went to a local park and did a program for the kids who just got out of school. They loved it and swarmed us for candy and tracks. All the kids wanted prayer. It was so awesome to see kids wanted prayer. I had 5 little girls run to me asking for prayer and tracks. On the way home Miranda and I rode in the back of the truck and sat in traffic for an hour. We could not get comfortable at all because of the bumps in the trunk bed. Lunch was good we either had chicken or papa john’s pizza. Later tonight we had a night service at hosanna south. God was showed his power tonight. Well that’s all for us, Dave is going to go into more detail about the service tonight. Dude we’re so excited for tomorrow. We’re all so happy that we got this extra day. Praise Jesus!!

Oh and I have to add that for 2 days we played a game called “it is”. Pastor Jeff would pick 3 random objects that described a person and we had to guess who the person was. I got so into the game. It took me two days to get the game and last 2 nights ago we were up till 2 in the morning trying to figure it out. It got to the point where I started crying because I was getting to mad. About 15 minutes after I cried I got it and I was so happy!!!!!!!!!!
