Home at last

I had an amazing time in Managua (the capital of Nicaragua). We visited an orphanage, the cancer ward at the children's hospital, and "the dump". It's literally the city's dump, and about 2000 people live there. So we went to pass out water and tracts. I met a little boy named Kevin at the dump. We also got to pray with the parents at the children's hospital. One girl in particular stuck out to me, her name is Elisea Maragrita. She has a tumor in her chest and is almost 3. She was sucking her thumb when we walked in an it reminded me of Ryleigh. I got to pray with her mom who started crying and thanking us for being there to bring joy to the children, because we also tied ballons for them. I wish I would have gotten her picture, she was such a beautiful child with a great spirit. You could just sense it when you walked in.

There is too much really to write now, but I could totally feel that people were praying for me. My stomach was fine and no sickness on the plane or car rides (which is a big deal for me). I even welcomed beans and rice for breakfast (which is a bigger deal for me). We got to go on a zip line thorugh the canopy of Mombacho (a dormant volcano), which was a blast!!!! I can't wait to get the pictures to share! Thanks to all who prayed!
