Sorry for such late updates since the intrenet was not working right, but this was supposed to be posted on Wednesday the 20th (photos to come later):

Today we were in Betonia again; this time our story was about how Jesus died on the cross for our sins. During our small groups, many kids, and even some adults, accepted Jesus into their lives!!! We were also able to take a tour of Austin Fricker’s farm and we got to see how the the farm is impacting the community and how the RHCC’s contribution has been helping the farm. 

 Today we did our group skit and it was about Jesus dying for our sins, the kids really seemed to enjoy it. After, we split up into groups and talked and asked questions about what sin means to them and most of them said sin is disobeying God. Even some kids raised their hands that they accepted Jesus into their lives. We also went out and prayed for families again and I was playing with a little girl all day today and finally found her house and prayed with her dad and her, he told us that he was a Christian and we prayed for good health and to have the growth of God in him. Today was an overall good day J ~Hailey~

After being told I was not able to play in the Betania vs. “Gringos” soccer game because I was a girl and they would not let me play due to cultural issues, a group of disappointed young ladies went with an interpreter to the first house we came across. There were two beautiful young ladies sitting on the porch with a baby. We began to explain to these ladies, Kandall and Sarah; that we wanted to pray with them about whatever they needed. When I was finished praying for their family because they were not followers of Christ, we came to find out that Kendall was not a believer either. We began to tell her what it meant to us to be a Christian, and after a bit of talking she decided to accept Christ. Crystal then prayed in English, our translator then translated into Miskito, and Kendall repeated after him. God completely broke down not only a language barrier, but also softened a heart and met a need. We have seen Kendall around Betania this week and have loved seeing her gorgeous smile melting our hearts. Please continue to pray for Kendall and her parents, who we later found out, are in the hospital in Puerto Cabezas. Thank you for all the love, support, and prayers you have given us, and I am overjoyed to be able to say that I now have a sister in Christ all the way in Nicaragua. ~Jordyn
