Day 2

Well Hello out of Managua.  Sorry that I am late with the post the internet at the hotel on the island is a little hard to come by.  It's a hot day and we had devotions at the best place looking out on lush green trees surrounding us with pastor Jared.  We then proceeded to the church office in the back of a truck.  We went to the house of Pastor Aaron and his wife Betty to move their house.  One thing some people found, don't sit on the edge of the truck, the officers don't like that they want you to sit inside the back or stand.  (luckily I was standing).  That was fun and an adventure nonetheless.  We then had a little party/get together with food to say goodbye to Aaron and Betty where we met a lot of passionate for Christ people.  The church staff put it together for all their friends and us.

They are all so fired up for God and love each other like family.  It was sad to see the good byes but also exciting to know that The Lord has big plans for them on Ometepe Island.  We then 1st packed the suitcases on the roof of a van then they wanted to put them on the truck that was bringing us to the island.  It was quite fun to see how they packed everything and how well they know how to pack a lot of suitcases on the truck with a tarp.  We then drove to the port where we were getting the ferry to come to the island for 6 days.  We arrived at the island on a bumpy ferry.  The water so choppy that when you try and walk it feels like you are drunk.  We took a lot of pictures of the volcanoes cause it looked so cool.  God's creation is amazing just the trees, and the volcanoes and the clouds and even the choppy lake is amazing.  We arrived at the hotel around 7:15 pm and had a late dinner which was good, we can choose what ever we want cause its all paid for.  It is still windy and actually a little chilly, the waves on the lake sounds like the ocean it is nice.

We then helped Aaron and Betty to unload the truck into their rental property until their house in Merida is done with the renovating.  The Lord has shown me today that you need to have faith and no matter what everything around you is his doing and also that we should be helping through his love and not for our own fulfillment but for his.  Time for bed now, until tomorrow (well your today and my tomorrow.  we are 2 hours behind you guys).
