Nicaragua Resident 2026 Day 4

Good morning friends and family,

Today started with a busy morning but then turned into a fun evening at the beach! The day started out at the church and Pastor Dennis gave us the history of his church and discussed at length what challenges they face. One way you can be praying for them is that God would provide for the school that they run. Similar to the United States teachers leave because the school does not have enough to pay them.

Next, Houston gave a message to the youth of the community. Houston did a great job being relatable and illustrating the text across the culture divide that was present. Afterwards we got to snack on some cake and learn about their lives.

The last thing we did before going to the beach is that we took the workers of the school/church out to a nice seafood lunch. We all got to fellowship and learn about the roles they fulfill in their local church. On an unrelated note most of us also tried fish eyes!

We ended on day on the beach followed by a Pizza Hut dinner and a couple of rounds of one-night Ultimate Werewolf. Not that it’s important but I was on the winning side every round.
