Hola out of rainy, windy Ometepe Island. Today was a blessed day for me. We participated in the Sunday Morning devotions before with church with the locals. It was about the plan for Salvation and he gave us 4 points. It was tricky to understand him but I tried and followed along.
During the church service 3 of us women helped out at harvest kids. We helped out with the crafts for the toddlers. It was so much fun watching them sing songs together with each other. It tried to sing along but it didn't work so well. It was great to try and connect with the kids. Even though there was a language barrier, it was a blessing to be able to work along side them and then pastor Edwin's daughter would help me with some words and tell me how to say something.
We made a paper plate with cute little foam shapes on the edge and wrote "Dios Es Abundante, Efesius 3:20-21" which means God is Abundant. It was so much fun to spend time with the little kids and helping them with my english while they speak/understands spanish.
The congregation held a welcome party for Pastor Aaron and Betty which was kind of a surprise for them. They asked us if we wanted to come and off course we wanted to come instead of going to the Eye of the Water. They are like family now and they see us as apart of their church family as well. It was so much fun to hang out with everyone and they are all so loving. It is still amazing to me how wonderful the community is with each other. They are always there to help in some sort of a way. We can learn from them that we should always show God's love amongst each other and that everyone is family.
We swam in the dark again and this time Betty came with us and we swam in the dark again. We also had some banana splits for "dinner". We had too much to eat today and just wanted some dessert. So we had some good banana splits.
Well here is too another amazing God filled day ending the day with listening to worship music on my computer. Until tomorrow night, adios!!
