Ok so this is our house for the 6 guys we have.  I know this pic doesnt really show much at all but sorry maybe you can try to imagine it our something-haha just kidding I'll try to get some pics of the inside.

WELL.... I'm pretty much doing life here now! I still miss everyone, but this is kinda my home now.  I don't know its not really a missions trip.  It's more like life in another country, with the main goal to serve Christ...which is pretty much how life should always be anyways...so it's funny I had to come all the way to Nicaragua to figure that out but im glad God finally got through to me.  For example I'm sitting in an internet cafe right now, but like five min ago my amigo Joe, started talking with some guy, and we ended up praying for his leg because he was shot there.  Like two min ago another guy we have talked to on and off came in and we talked to him about coming to our bible studies and stuff.

   God is teaching me it works so much better when we wait and ask him to bring us the opportunities.  We do intentional ministries, such as teaching english at an orphange, going to bible studies, going to rehab centers, and serving at the church, which has been great, but I have seen some of the best fruit come from just going through life, but being sensitive to God working around us.  He works we are just the tools.  At the same time he has chosen to give us righteousness, authority, and power.  This country is oppressed by darkness, but by the power of the name of Jesus Christ, we can be men and women of dominion and take back land for his kingdom.  Please pray for truth for a country deceived by the evil one.  Truth that God is loving and caring and wants to be with them. 

   One cool story ( there are many) that I will throw in here is about an ATL we did recently.  ATL stands for ask the Lord.  It really stretches us because we just get in smaller groups and pray that God will tell us what to do for the next few hours.  This is not as easy as it sounds.  I often have thoughts like...  "Was that my voice or God's?  I'm not hearing anything.  Wait God you want me to do what?  What if I do this or go there and it fails?  That will sound or look foolish to everyone else.:"  But you should def try it because time and time again God comes through.

   This last ATL I kinda had a picture of JD preaching in the town square.  I figured this was becasue I was reading about Paul in the bible and that it was he always did.  Anyways I told the team, but we all kind of laughed because no one really does that, and would we just start preaching or what.  We mostly forgot about it, but after some different events we ended up in the town square and bought lunch for an old man.  Another man sitting next to the old man saw JD's bible and asked us what religion we were.  As JD started talking about it some other people started to stand around and listen.  To make a long story short JD shared the gospel, said works can't get you to heaven (which is not a popular thing to say down here) and was straight up preaching in spanish out of the bible.  We were just sitting on the ground with the bible open with like 15 or more people around us.  We ended up praying for a ladies daughter afterwards too.     

   God totally wants to talk to us.  All we have to do is listen.  It is harder then it sounds, but we have the bible which we will can always know what is right to do, and we have the Holy Spirit which will guide us by showing us when and where to do it.  Give it a try.  Even if you think you hear something that seems really goofy, God could just be seeing how much faith you have in him.  I'm not saying don't discern things, but God definetly works in ways that I don't understand and we have to step out in faith!

      Alright well im going to go post another blog.  Make some comments on how you guys are doing and how I can pray for you!!  Hows life in the States???
