well, today was a very long day. activity began at 8:00 and continued without stop until around 11:00. that’s a.m. to p.m. as you can imagine, running on minimal sleep we are exhausted. we drove for a total of around 5 1/2 hours today on a school bus that looked (as do all u.s. buses turned Nicaraguan public transportation fleet members) as though a mariachi band with a penchant for all things Walt Disney and/ or brightly colored were given charge over its Centro American makeover. on a brigter note, there were a lot of salvations, most notably a couple hundred teenagers at a secondary school (a.k.a. high school) in Ticuantepi. our trip is drawing to a close, with only one more day of actual planned ministry if that makes sense. Friday will be spent, among other things, travelling to Managua in order to get the teams to the airport (along with their 100 pieces of luggage, most of which are adorned with ominous orange hangtags bearing the caution: HEAVY), driving, driving and driving.

with more than 20 people staying at this house alone, all of whom use a single computer, it is difficult for me to communicate in as much detail as i would like, so there must be fill-in-the-blank conversations at a later date. for now, i’ll just say that we are doing well, seeing numerous souls won for Christ and missing our families and friends. we love you guys. more later…
