We're Back

Back safely now.  It was a awesome week.  There are a lot of fun stories to share, and a lot of great memories.  Mostly, there were a lot of blessings from our Lord.  Its not easy to go from the tremendous poverty in Nicaragua to the paved streets, comfortable homes, air conditioning (well, that's actually nice) and abundance of stuff in one day.  Its tiring physically due to all the travel, but also emotionally.  God has tremendously blessed our land.  Many times we don't realize this until we see outside of the US borders.  We are truly blessed in our country.  At the same time, our friends in Santa Maria are blessed in other ways by our Lord, many of which we probably will never understand, but I am sure they are there, for we know the Lord has a heart for the poor.  I want to especially thank this years team for the tremendous effort put forth!  We could not have done it without all of your prayers and support, and most importantly, without our Lord.  So our story ends for 2008.   I hope you will seek out a team member to hear more.  May the Lord bless you and keep you always.  May He bless the people in Santa Maria.  In Him and for Him!  Hasta lluego y Dios le bendiga.
