Caliente, Caliente, Caliente (Hot, Hot, Hot)

Melissa and Jen praying for a women at Tuesday night's service




Well, it's day 3...hard to believe though, we've been so busy!!  Wednesday morning we did VBS for over 200 children...lots of energy!!  Wednesday afternoon we did another VBS for 100 more children.  500 pieces of candy....GONE!!!  Last night we drove to Diramba (about an hour away) for service.  Service was amazing.  About 100 people came forward for the alter call.  God is so amazing and MOVING so mightily here.  We all have such great stories to share.  Today we will be ministering to the bible students where we are staying, going to the down syndrome orphanage, (I can't hardly wait) and headed to the children's cancer ward this afternoon.  Followed by a service tonight given by (the electric-his new nickname) Pastor Dutch.  We will try and blog later tonight.  We love you all.  -Jill

God has no language barrier.

What an amazing time this has been for everyone!  It took awhile for it to sink in that we were actually in Nicaragua.  I feel so blessed to be here and am looking forward to another day.  No one seems to be having withdrawals from no facebook or texting! ha ha!  Well I might be a little! My favorite thing yesterday was watching the little children just sit on the laps of our youth.  They loved having their picture taken and looking at themselves!  I never thought cold showers would feel so good!  There is so much to share.  Can't wait to get home and share with everyone.
