ready….., set……, go……………………
Hey everyone I don’t think I have another video blog in me, so I am going to switch back to good old written ones…
This week was a pretty different then most of the weeks we have had here in Nica, we spent this week going to the gringo businesses in Granada trying to raise money for young life. I don’t know how much I have talked about that but it is a big deal for the team down here… Young life is a group that was started in the states but started in Nicaragua awhile ago in a city called Matagalpa… The young life in Granada was not supported by the Matagalpa young life so they had to find there support from other places… It stated around the same time that my team got here… I remember the first time that I saw young life I knew that they were doing good things but God did not call me to that ministry so I did not stay in close touch with what they have been doing.
But now you have the general idea I will tell you why we were raising the support this week and not every other week…
Last Saturday thanks to Joe Carter, Sarah Morgan, Sarah Kay, and countless other people there was a race in the city of Granada, everybody on the team helped in some way I was directing the runners so they knew where to go when they got to the turns… Heather, Jess and Amy were at the other turn… Pepa was running the water station( we filled up 1000 bags of water btw) and I think that JD, Beca, Melissa and Jenn were running registration. There was other stuff that different members of the team were doing…
I think in all it was a very good thing cause it opened people’s eyes to young life. People saw that they are out there. What ever Gods plan is for young life here in Granada I know that it will be great…
It is good to know that you are supporting programs that will continue on when your team leaves. What Kind of activities does Young LIfe do with the youth there?
Miss you and love you much,
Mom
Keep up the good work. How did the fundraising go?
