Another Nicaragua Update

Today's update revealed that a few more were feeling under the weather and guess what? One of them was mine! Do you know how hard it is to know your child is not feeling well and yet 1000's of miles away. My heart longs to be there to help take care of him, yet after all he is 16 now right?!?

Anyways, today they had the privilege of delivering a keyboard (piano) to a young man who is living in one of the orphanages down there. When they arrived at the house, the young man wasn't home yet so they decided to stick around to wait for him. When he arrived home and saw the team and the gift they had delivered he immediately sat down and began to play a Beethoven piece. What an incredibly tender moment this was, eliciting the tears of several team members and what a special time this was for all.



Tomorrow they travel back to Grenada and will perform several drama skits they've prepared in the Town Square where 1000's of people pass by each day.

It's got to be hard not to be there with your son. I know my imagination can get the best of me sometimes! The good thing is you know he is in God's will right now. The Lord's hand is on this group of youngsters. That has to be a great comfort.

My heart goes out to you, Ruth. Thankfully he is covered in prayer, your love, and God's love.

So, when do the travellers come home? Bet you can't wait to have him back in the roost.
