God is good!
We have enjoyed the last several weeks working with North Americans, and Nicaraguans alike. The school we help out at is such a fun and enjoyable time. We are slowly learning to understand spanish and the children there are so welcoming and willing to help us in any way. Sierra is enjoying teaching some of the girls her age english. Caleb of course is very much enjoying game time with the boys and Kyle and Sydney hop in where they can. Our sports camp time on Thursday is coming together nicely. We have about 16-24 boys playing baseball and about 8-12 volleyball girls. Their skills are improving each time we play which is always encouraging. I have started the teacher training sessions which will last till the end of the month. I have about 15 teachers joining me each week to learn about how to be a teacher and how to manage a classroom. I am grateful for Pastor Caulderon for all his willingness to let John and I help out where we can and use the gifts God has given us down here. I was able to gather with another North American group today and see the needs in La Paz Centro. I would venture to say that no matter where we go, we could be of help. Our challenge here is to discern what it is that God wants us to do and where we should put our efforts and energy. We came down here with the focus to help children and so we will try to narrow down what aspect of the children's needs down here we should focus on. We know many people in the states and other places around the world are praying for us and we know that because we ask God will answer.
