Each day this Thanksgiving week, we will be sharing a brief update and praises for the requests in our last update. We hope you will rejoice with us! Thank you for your prayers! The Lord has answered in wonderful ways. GIVING THANKS DAY 1- The internPraise the Lord! I will praise the Lord with my whole heart... Ps.111:1a From the moment she landed, we knew Isabel was going to be a blessing to us and our national partners. Having been born and raised as an mk in Spain, she spoke fluent spanish and had a heart to serve. We organized two days of soccer clinics for girls, one at Sendero de Luz in Ciudad Sandino and one at Vid Veradera in Nagarote.
Nicaraguans love soccer and their favorite team is either Barcelona or Real Madrid...Isabel is a Barcelona fan which gave her a way to connect with the girls immediately. She started by asking their names and which was their favorite team. She did fun drills with them and shared her testimony and challenge to walk with Christ during break for a snack. After the break, they played a soccer game. It was so fun to watch her connect with the girls and interact and chat with them. It was also wonderful to watch the girls have fun together without the guys around! We took her to the mud pits, where she made her own little bowl from the boiling mud, and alson introduced her to quesillos. She plugged right into the youth program where Bruce taught the lesson on Sunday morning at Nazaret and helped translate as we took a couple of the photo team out to Chinandega. She was a HUGE help to Laura prepping for the 20th anniversary celebration of ministry at Centro ABEM...but more about that later this week! We have been so very blessed by the interns we've hosted over the years. If you or someone you know would like to intern with us in Nicaragua, we encourage you to apply with ABWE and select the INTERN track.
