So today was the end of our last full week of being in Granada.  How crazy is that.  So what have I learned this week?  Well I always know that God created the heavens and the Earth in 7 days.  But have I ever really apreciated that.  I hear people saying you have to apreciate it.  These people would go on saying how amazing it was and how they just couldn't imagine it.  My thoughts on this are... yeah ok cool, I don't really like nature that much.  I would have something like that up until this week.  This week I went on a ATL.  I felt this conviction of not apreciating nature so strongly.  So my group and me walked down to this area by the lake.  It's an area that is pretty much untouched by humans, except for of course the massive amount of trash on the beach, which for here is normal.  So here we are sitting on this concrete kind of railing, and this huge hot pink dragonfly flew by.  It was so beautiful.  It was such a pretty pink and was slightly iradecent.  At this place you also have a view of volcano Momabacho which is not blocked at all by any building or anything that humans have to do with.  So on two sides of me are this lake, one side the volcano, and the otherside is my favorite.  The rains toward the end of the rainy season were really bad.  Therefore alot of the beaches flooded.  So there was this water with thousands of tadpoles and fishes swimming around in it.  It was so cool.  So on an impluse I jump into the not so clean water.  If you would stand in one place long enough, the fish would swim up to your feet and start nibbling on them.  It was so cool.  And the whole time all of this was happening, I just kept thinking how amazing all of this was.  God broke me down that day.  He made me apreciate, all that he done.

 

Also this week we had our final trash pick up, and childrens ministry.  Which was a little bit sad.  This week we also had to go to Managua to get our visa's renewned.  Everything this week was kind of coming to a hault.  We are all trying to pack, and clean and getting ready to leave.  Because on Tuesday we leave for the island of Ometepe.  We will be there for a little over a week.  Then we will be returning for a day then coming home.  When I say home, I mean home in Iowa!  We are going to this island to work at an orphange for a week.  I would like to ask you to all pray for my team and me.  My prayer request would be for hearts to remain calm and keep our hearts and minds focused on doing God's will for these last two weeks we are here for.  Thanks you all so much!
