Hello and welcome back subscribers! Thank you so much for spending the time to read my blog. 

    To begin Covid has started to ramp up here in Granada so because of this, our ability to go out into the community and do ministry work  has been unavailable the last 10 days of our stay here at REAP. Now even though we haven’t been able to go prayer walking, or go to the dump, and even church, we have been able to stay here at the farm and have some extremely valuable time here to do ministry work on the farm as well as have more time to grow ourselves. 

   One thing I was able to do during this time was complete a 3 day food fast, which was difficult but an awesome experience. During the fast I had time to reflect on the first month and focus on what God was doing in my life. So that’s what I will briefly share.

    Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied Matthew 5:6   My prayer/goal of this trip is radical change. However I’ve learned that just praying for this growth and change isn’t enough, it takes some effort on my part as well. Initially it was hard for me to completely commit to this change for multiple reasons. But after reading a few books given to us by REAP and spending time in the word, as well as some deep conversation with the guys in my squad I was able to begin to move forward towards this change. I’m now excited more than ever to be in the word each morning and just watch how God is working around me and the squad.

    I’m so grateful that we were able to spend our first month here in Nicaragua at REAP, and I truly believe there wouldn’t have been a better place to begin. Scott who runs REAP who is such an amazing guy tells us the primary reason we’re here is to focus on our own personal walk. And I think that’s exactly what the squad and I needed to kick things off!

   So now headed into Costa Rica tomorrow I’m not only excited to see what amazing ministry opportunities await us but also excited to see how God will continue to grow me. Thank you for your continued support and prayers; God bless
