Sunday - Sarah Spivey

We landed in Nicaragua last night around 8 pm. After a bumpy bus ride to our hotel we arrived at Matagalpa Inn! This morning (Sunday) we headed to First Baptist Matagalpa for a wonderful worship service where we were reunited with friends and family. Reconnecting is always one of my favorite parts of the trip because you get to catch up with individuals who you haven't seen in a year.Worship was followed by a delicious lunch prepared by the ladies of FBC Matagalpa.


After lunch we made our way to a local nutrition center near Matagalpa. This center helps children who are malnourished.  This was my favorite part of the day! Taking time to give one on one time with the babies at the center was impacting. I met one little girl who was 18 months old named Isaura. She had been living at the shelter for 5 months now. My Dad and I played with her for about 30 min before she cracked a smile. The nutrition center was a great place to physically show God's love to His children.



The day ended with a evening service at FBC Matagalpa. At the end of the service, Pastor Javier asked us to join hands and pray with members of the church who will be joining us in the villages this week.

I am looking forward to this week and being able to share God's love with the people of Nicaragua!
