Day 1-3

So the first few days have been very full, but also very restful. I spent most of the day today giving drum lessons in Spanish, which is enough to make your head want to explode....but I love it, and I love helping musicians and worship teams realize their potential! The first day I was here (Friday), I went and played drums at an outreach for kids and youth in a small village called Santa Matilda. It is a village that is known for its gang-wars and violent crimes, but the Lord is doing amazing things. We played music, and the youth's drama and dance teams performed, then we showed a movie to all of the kids and youth. Then, yesterday I spent most of the day just hanging out with some of the locals until the afternoon, when we had a meeting for some of the young men. We read some out of John Eldredge's Wild at Heart, and talked about what true masculinity looks like. Then today there was children's church, and lots of drums lessons, followed by the regular service. Tomorrow and Tuesday the mission is closed (its like the weekend for all of the mission workers), and a couple of us will be taking a trip to Grenada and Masaya. The Lord is already beginning to fill my time here, so keep praying that He will accomplish through me whatever He desires while I am here!
