With Tommy and Linda vacationing with the Bacons: Oscar, Scarleth, Leo, and I all had a free day so we went about an hour and a 45 min drive north to Tonala...it is a small community where they tried to do a youth group thing from last august-december but 3.5 hours driving every Sunday was too much for the amount of kids they had showing up. I got to see the El Ranchon where they held services.Daniel, head worship leader of NewSong, and Jahida, huge help with youth and kids, met us in Chenadega and made the trip as well...We had to take a taxi to the Leon bus stop, bus to Chenadega, taxi to another bus stop in Chenadega, then bus up to Tonala..then the reverse order home. It was a lot of switching but a very fun experience.
I got to meet a few people they knew from their outreach there, and we had a big soup lunch at one ladies house...Pastor Cristino comes to Candelaria Wed-Fri for Tommy's leadership meetings and is the pastor there on staff with NewSong..we looked for him and a few other people but their homes were empty.
Scarleth, Leo, and I are headed back to Playa Roca tomorrow, the closest beach to Leon, and we will be back to the villages Wednesday when the Gables and Bacons get back to Leon. Scarleth and I will catch up on our attendance sheets, book library, and
personal finances on laptops at the beach and Oscar will be handling NewSong finances from Leon.Hoping to get more of my .info website updated tomorrow night as well..think about you all often and thanks to the most recent donations i was emailled last week, and they will come through by week's end.
