Doing work and fun at the same time

On Friday 14th I when to the mountains with a good friend of mine, his translator and my parents. Wow! it is so good to go with out translating. There is so much to see there, people to great, kids to talk and amazing views to watch.

AMC one of the NC partners has a special program in the mountains to bless the bank land "Nueva Jerusalem" but also to give 10 new latrines for 10 families over 20 who own the "Nueva Jerusalem" bank land. We have a very nice program, they started on time, with an amazing weather and with the participation of all the beneficiaries of the bank land and some people from AMC. My dad who is a pastor did one of the three pastoral intervention and is very nice that at his 82, he still praying and blessing kids, parents and the land for future generations. We have songs, songs and more songs and at the end of the program we when to the ribbon cutting of one of the latrines 150mts away and when we came back we had lunch. Time to talk and share more about the program, the people and a good meal. wow! with friends. We left the bank land at 1:30 for 4 hours of travel.

Yesterday I when to Chinandega and el Viejo again with my parents but for a different purpose. The 18th of May is a very meaningful day for people who has HIV-Aids and specially for leaders, pastors and voluntaries part of the Christian Mobilization Project from NC. This was the opportunity to spread the real truth about Aids in Nicaragua along with the Ministry of Health of Nicaragua and Non Government Organization. I was very happy to see a lot of people with brochures on the streets giving away and some others reading right where they were working, doing errands or just chatting with someone. We like christian we need to spread the word of God in every situation. Chinandega is very important city to do this mobilization.

The fun part was that I saw my friend Andrea. She left on July last year for more school (another college degree). We meet her at Leon and we when and have a good Carne Asada con tajadas at La Estacion. ha ha ha. Well! grill red meat of chicken or pork. We have some time to up-date each other but we would need more time to really up-date each other.

Fui invitada a un retiro de muejres por el fin de semana por una miga y tuve un tiempo maravilloso con una gran cantidad de mujeres. Dos cosas en comun el amor de Dios y que todas hablamos ingles. Una oradora excelente con musica maravillosa (un buen equipo). Era un tiempo para relajarse, aprender, hacer nuevas amigas y comer. (wow! y mucho)

Amiga antigua Beverly quien me ha invitado a venir al retiro en muchas ocaciones. Finalmente se hizo posible.Fue una gran sorpresa cuando me vio porque no le habia dicho nada que iria. ja ja ja

Dos amigas del trabajo y companeras de cuarto Kim y Maria. Kim pronto saldra a los EU y yo estoy triste, pero se que su familia la necesita mas. Dios bendiga su viaje. Maria una mujer de oracion. Ella se levantaba muy temprano de la manana para ir a caminar, nadar y para tener un precioso tiempo con el Senor.

Nueva amiga Jullie, ella es madre de una jovencita de NCA y es una mujer muy especial que compartio de su vida conmigo y estoy sumamente bendecida de llamarla amiga y hermana en Cristo.

Amiga joven Cheree ella muy pronto contraera nupcias y tuvimos la oportunidad de platicar y compartir como hermana. Ella es una bendicion en mi vida y es muy dulce.

Las mananas eran asombrosas con el tiempo para orar y compartir con otras amigas sobre el Senor. Tambien poder ver la vista tan linda y caminar a la orilla del mar.

Yo tengo algunas cosas nuevas para poner en practica y nuevas amigas con las cuales compartir sobre lo asombroso que es Dios en mi vida.
