Day Two

What a delight to return to Lajoya today.  It's the rainy season, so things look different than last October; more vegetation and more trash in the streets. Tom, a teen, noticed some of the fence posts were sprouting. 🤔  We spent a few hours in the  200-person village at the base of Volcan Cristobol this afternoon, assembling the baptismal font, repairing a wTer filtration at deaconess Myra's home and being warmly greeted by the women and children and Pastor Marvin.  Aubrey, our other teen, made friends with Jaylin and Elizabeth and a few other girls who held her hands as they walked around. Smiles replaced words as the language barrier didn't prevent friendships from developing.

We returned to the hotel in Chinandega and Mary led a devotion on eagles wings, with some lovely singing. We retired early to be ready for Sunday worship in Lajoya.

Prayers are appreciated, that we are effective workers in Gods kingdom, that forecasted rain would not prevent our work and that we'd have safety as we travel back and forth.
