Ahuas!!!

So I've been in Ahuas for over a week now. It is really amazing what the clinic (above) is doing here. I've gained a huge respect for people in the medical feild and an even greater respect for doctors who work without electricity most of the time. The clinic does everything from dental work to birthing for people who don't have any where else to go.

There is a great youth group here thats kept me busy. God's blessed me with the oportunity to work with the youth on Saundays during Chidren's Church and at youth group throughtout the week. We've also started an English class 6 days a week for people from the community.

Right now I'm living with a nurse and her family close to the clinic. We had a tortilla making lesson last night that went fairly well. Only one of my tortillas ended up on the floor. There's a little boy there, the nurses son, he didn't like me to much at first but he's getting used to me. He's adorable, when we're at church he sings and dances along to the hymns eventhough he's only two.His favorite song has a part in it about jumping and dancing and clapping for Dios so we'll sing it at home for him while he jumps around. I think one of my favorite things about La Moskitia is the worship. Although I can't really understand them yet, I love the Miskitu hymns.

There's also a youth chior here that meets during the week, so I've been able to learn How Great Thou Art and Holy,Holy,Holy in Spanish. Last night we sang Christmas carols all night long. In Miskitu, Spanish, English and even Norwegian (There are a few missionaries here from Norway).


One of my friends here wanted to share something so I am going to let him type for a little while.

"It is really nice to have Leah here. She has been a great help to the work that we are doing here. Please keep her in your prayers. I know that God will continue to use her in a great way.
She has been doing numerous things here. She has taught the children, participated in a choir, got to know many people, taught English class, done some work in the clinic, got to know a monkey, started learning guitar, and numerous other things that she would probably leave out of the blog. We try to keep her as busy as possible. :) She is a great blesing to everyone that she meets here in Ahuas (Although, some children are a bit afraid of her. They sort of run away from her. It is not her fault though)."
