In San Jose that is; we are now officially in our second last week of classes. The week of outreach in Diriamba Nicaragua was amazing! We had a long day of travel on Saturday leaving around 5am, and arriving in Diriamba very sweaty, tired, and excited for the week (after getting pizza for dinner, such a treat) we settled in, the girls at the library and the boys at the Church. The next morning we got right into it by putting on a childrens program at the church, lunch at the JUCUM base, a little time to rest and get changed and our group put on the church service in the evening, which went super well. We did a lot of ministry with kids this week, the kids in the neighbourhood (Barrio Berlin) are absolutely amazing, and I think we all fell in love pretty instantly.
The other really exciting ministry opportunity this week was doing a mural for the library. The library is a fairly new project and it was great to be able to do something to raise awareness about the library.
There were a lot of kids there in the afternoon, to read, play, hang out with us while we painted and some attended and English class there as well. It was overall an amazing week!
