Getting settled in my new home.

Praise God I made it safely to Nicaragua with now mishaps.  I've been here for almost two weeks now.  I've been settling in getting some work done and trying to get used to the weather.   I don't think that will ever happen.  It hasn't been too hot but very HUMID.  It's all good.  I think I've already lost about 10 pounds.  Eating three regular meals a day and not snacking whenever I want helps a lot.  The kids are all doing great.  They just started their summer vacation so they will be out of school for the next two and a half months.  Hellen, the director, just got back from Costa Rica.  Her mother passed away suddenly so I barely got to see her a couple of days ago when she returned.  She is in good spirits but she has to return next week to take care of paperwork.  Please keep her in your prayers.  We've been constructing a greenhouse to do some container gardening and I've started on some planting beds by the girl's house.  A group of missionaries from the World Race is here and they have been a big help in the garden and with the kids. The orphanage was given a flock of 10 pelibuey, a cross between a goat and a sheep, by the American Nicaraguan Foundation.  This is one of  the projects I wanted to do so I'm excited it's already been done.  I went out to look at them today just in time to see the first kid born in the flock.  Today was a beautiful day.  Light raining fell throughout the day and it didn't get too hot.  This was the least sweatiest day since I got to Nicaragua.  Last night we had a vigil for a national prophetic conference coming next month.  All the churches all over the country were praying around the clock for national and worldwide spiritual revival.  We prayed for all the surrounding countries.  I noticed that when it was the United States' turn people seemed to really pray intensely for our well-being.  I miss everyone back home.  Everyday I think about all the people who are just as much a part of this work by providing the financial support to allow me to be here.  I can hardly believe that I am doing what I have always wanted to do and it is only possible by God using many people to make it happen.  Thank You All!  God bless.
