be at peace with what you know now, and be patient for what you will know later

Prayer and study tonight feel very important at the moment. So, I'm going to make this particular entry short and sweet.

We were extremely productive today. We started the day off at the Nicaraguan Christian Academy. It was a wonderful trip. Ms. Sylvia is the elementary principal and Ms. Hall is the high school principal there. We spoke about the teaching requirements and opportunities and then Sylvia gave us a tour around the campus. I did spot three or four sets of golf clubs in a recreational office.. hmm. There were a couple of basketball courts, a soccer field, several play grounds, and a small outdoor theatre stage as well for gatherings and lunch. It was the first day back to school for this season, so we concluded the tour by watching the opening faculty skit and remarks about the projection and goals for the upcoming year. Everyone there speaks English, so it was easy to follow along. I recorded part of the final speech. It's amazing. I'm hoping to upload it here soon; maybe when I have a better internet connection.

Following the NCA, we went to Campo Abem, just outside of Managua by 20 or so minutes. It is a paradise in its own right. There is unlimited potential for future relations and mission trips associated with Campo Abem. The facility can sleep over 100 people in a single trip. There is a large pool, cabana, softball / baseball fields, basketball courts, volleyball grass courts, soccer fields, and plenty of extra room to hit a few buckets of balls, if need be. The lot in totality is roughly 160 acres. The scene is breathtaking. Lake Managua, Mumbo Tumbo (large volcano), Mumbo Tumbito (smaller volcano), and the mountains along the west all frame the vista from the top of Campo Abem hill. More pictures to come, also.

We finished the day with more old friends: Eliazar, Daniel, and Macho. I know most reading this don't know these names (other than in passing if I've mentioned them before), but just know that these names mentioned throughout my blog are associated with very special people. I consider them all family. I love them very much and spending some time with them, catching up, and exchanging hugs really does mean the world to me (us).

It was a great day. We were blessed and extremely thankful to have such a smooth and inspiring Monday. God willing, the rest will follow in suit.

Love you all. Sweet dreams & God bless.
