This week has been full of challenges and excitement. The Lord is moving, slowly and steadily, in Jinotepe Nicaragua. We have been spending time in the barrios, an old age home, the hospital, the church and in town. As we have begun to build friendships and get to know the area we have been working towards deciding which areas we want to focus in and how we want to use our time for the next several weeks. My team has bonded very well together and I personally have been growing in my faith and experiences every day. 

     I have not yet taken my camera into the barrios or to any of our ministry locations, as until we've really built a relationship with the people I don't really think it would be appropriate. However, I have some pictures from an independence day parade today. Much, much more to come...
