Marvillosa!

Hey everyone! Emily Echevarria here. So far, the first few days have been AMAZING!!! I'm having tons of fun and learning so much at the same time. All of the people are so warm and kind, and just wanna welcome you in with their love. This morning, we went to a local neighborhood and played with the kids, as well as read them the story of David and Goliath in Spanish. They were adorable! We made beaded necklaces with them, and mi amigo nuevo, Ben, taught me the names of some of the little bugs we saw. Then I met Yessenia who was 18 years old- same as me- and she was so excited to tell me about the hut we were playing in. It was actually her church, even though it was only an open air, dirt floor covering with a single back wall. Her excitement in meeting and greeting us was contagious, and I left feeling like she and I made a genuine friendship, despite language barriers and the time crunch. This is turning into a life changing experience!

Love in Christ (from Nicaragua!),
Emily Echevarria
