This is my second year coming to Managua, Nicaragua and I've been more than excited for this trip back. Today I woke up early and after devotionals and breakfast Michaela, Keirsten and myself washed the two guard dogs Sasha and Oso. It was interesting but bribery and food can calm any dog down. We then washed the walls of the sanctuary and taped around the edges to prepare them for tomorrow where we will paint them. After spending time with the guard who not only remembers me but thinks I'm his granddaughter, we went to lunch. Guadelope was out tourist attraction this afternoon where we split up into two groups and went to peoples houses and prayed with them. The amount of appreciation and emotion they put into their prayers will always amaze me. We then ate dinner and got ready for Prayer Night which also amazes me every time. People can pray in english or spanish but God hears all languages from all hearts. I saw my friend Reynaldo and a lot of others that I made friends with my last trip and I'm astonished that they remember my name sounding like Alicia because Alysha doesn't exist to them. We were able to stay out late and talk to them and "bond" once again in an unexplainable way. I was able to see Mariling my dearest friend here and her baby boy and that experience was something I'll never forget. My long awaited trip back is taking my breath away and I can't wait to see what the rest of the trip has in store for me and my heart.
Beautiful sis!!!
