Final thoughts from the week

Today was our last full day in Nicaragua

Today was a beautiful day meeting people in the community!

Today was a wonderful day full of relationships!

Tuesday was a wonderful day spent with the local people!

Day 2 was spent helping Matt at Amigos Animal Rescue

First two days in Nicaragua! The people here are amazing and our hosts are such a blessing to us and the community!

The day has finally arrived! The team departed their respective airports and met in Miami before departing for Managua, Nicaragua. Please be praying for safe travels for the team, that all supplies make it through the airport, and for our drive to Leon. Be praying this next week that we are an encouragement to our hosts, for the gospel to be translated well, and for the relationships we will build! We are so excited to see what God has planned in the week ahead!

We are one week out! It has been nothing short of amazing to see how God has been moving and blessing the team as we prepare to leave. Dr. Ginger and Katelyn are both musicians. (In fact, Dr. Ginger has brought a guitar on almost every mission trip she has been on so we can worship and sing together with an instrument!) Music is an important part of our trip and we have been blessed with two people who can play. God even answered a prayer and has supplied us with instruments

No Expectations One thing we like to emphasize to our team when we are heading out on a trip is the only expectation is that there are no expectations! We find that when we try to assume our own time table and agenda for a day, we often get so caught up in achieving those goals that we miss miracles that are happening right in front of us! We want to share a couple of stories that, had we been so focused on achieving our own expectations, we would have missed the opportunity

I would like to share with you an excerpt from a book we use in mission training: “Elephant and mouse were best friends. One day Elephant said, ‘Mouse, let’s have a party!’ Animals gathered from far and near. They ate. They drank. They sang. And they danced. And nobody celebrated more and danced harder that Elephant. After the party was over, Elephant exclaimed, ‘Mouse, did you ever go to a better party? What a blast!’ But Mouse did not answer. ‘Mouse, where are you?’ Elepha
