Sorry that it has been so long since I have posted! I just realized that it has been over a month. Here is a short overview of some of the things that have been going on.
At the end of March, I had to leave the country to renew my visa. So we went to San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. It was a nice little beach town. Everyone had fun and it was a relaxing time.

The beach in Nicaragua was beautiful! |
The church that I attend "Calvary Chapel San Pedro" had a youth gathering after school. They invited all of the students in middle school and high school in the area to come to the skating rink after school. We gave out snacks and the kids had fun skating. One of the teenagers shared his testimony, the pastor shared the Gospel and they showed a scene from Facing the Giants in Spanish.

Today, we had a going away party at the Saturday Ministry with the kids. Chelsea, who has been studying since last April and has worked with the ministry the whole time, will be leaving in a week and a half. We had 65 children. We sang songs and played games and ate cake and donuts and orange soda. Talk about sugar hyper children.

Pile of children all around Chelsea! |

The older kids had a cake fight. The only problem is that the colored icing stains |

The first few weeks that this little girl came, we couldn't get her look at us, let alone get
her to participate or smile. Look at how far we have come! |
