well, it is almost over now. although we have four more whole days before we arrive back in the states, the organized ministry is pretty much over. it has been one long day. we had a great experience in another secondary school in Ticuantepe, where we saw over 400 saved, including many faculty members.

tomorrow, we will be heading out fairly early to Volcan Masaya, where we will accompany this week’s group on a tour of the area, shopping, eating, etc.: this will mark the end of our 5.5 hour-a-day driving habit, which is good news considering that i have read nearly all of Hemingway’s Complete Short Works, my companion on many a grueling traverse of Nicaragua’s pitted roadways.

i do not yet have the total figure for salvations this week, but it is definitely in excess of 1,500. it has been a very successful and thoroughly wearying week, one which we are both sorry and glad to see draw to a close. much work has been accomplished and numerous lives have been transformed. please keep us in your prayers as we continue that work.

God bless,

dallas & shanna
