Hurricanes and short sleeves.

Hurricane Matthew, You have overstayed your welcome.
Thousands of people left stranded... Er wait, more like a group of 10 DTSers, sitting at a base in Nicaragua wearing our summer clothes, while the rain pours, no - dumps buckets outside our door. The first few days of outreach behind us, thankful for the rest we were able to take in, we are now anticipating the unveiling of the Nicaraguan sun... Thank you, Jesus, for sanity. (Although, that is verging on dramatic).

We made it! We are here in Nicaragua. Flawless travels and many other blessings I could mention, we are settled into our temporary casa for outreach. Leading is new and wonderful, my team is all but negative. We are enjoying ourselves- most of our clothes are sopping wet, but that can't keep us from laughing. I don't understand how the Lord has blessed us with an amazing group of people. Our unity is being strengthened daily, our laughter is getting deeper, our characters are being refined - we are off to a beautiful start.

Keep us in your prayers as we begin to do ministry - with or without the rain. We will start a Bible distribution ministry today, pray for fire. Could fire and rain could mix well? How about this; lets pray for an outpouring of the Spirit and a lessening of the rain, deal?

Love from the Nicaragua team!
