Today was a nice change of pace. As with the rest of the week (except Tuesday) there was no school…only this time it was because it’s Saturday, not because it was pouring rain. There was however, no rain today, rather a nice bright, hot sunshine. It felt and looked glorious, though at times a bit warm (oh well, I can’t expect anything else being in Central America). This afternoon we went into Managua to get some shopping done, mostly groceries, but the boys also got new shoes, which they were all quite excited about.
This afternoon I took part in a great little game of 4v4 soccer. The boys all played, plus Daniel, Kinly, myself, and a few others from the neighborhood. Our team won, but most importantly it was just a good fun time. At one point it was starting to mist (not quite rain) which felt amazing, and also looked really cool in the sun. Tonight I went to the bible study which is led by and for the youth, which was followed by a birthday party. The bible study included a great discussion on 1 Peter 1:5-15. The party was also a ton of fun, I even won at musical chairs :)
Tomorrow is Mother’s day here in Nicaragua, a few weeks after ours in the States, and I know they have a few things planned for church. Should be interesting/fun….
Y por esto deben esforzarse en añadir a su fe la buena conducta; a la buena conducta, el entendimiento; al entendimiento, el dominio propio; al dominio propio, la paciencia; a la paciencia, la devoción; a la devoción, el afecto fraternal; y al afecto fraternal, el amor.
- 1 Pedro 1:5-7
SO glad that the rain stopped and that it gave you a chance to get out and have some fun! 1 Peter 1:8-9 is one of my favorite verses. and is a great reminder after reading verses 5-7.
