This was the last full day of teaching at the RHEMA Pastor's Institute in the city of Nandasmo. It was a special joy for me to spend the day there teaching the pastors as they completed their studies. I was their first instructor back in May and then had the privilege of being their last instructor today. We are all looking forward to their graduation on Thursday afternoon.

After finishing at the Institute we drove to pick up the medical team at another site in Nandasmo. This was my first opportunity to see them in action this year. They were able to see over a hundred patients today and provide them with much needed medicines. The patients we see could never afford to buy the medicines that the medical team is able to provide them. Blessing!

Today was Dr. Herrod's birthday as well as Bob Smith's. Bob is a music evangelist who works part-time with RHEMA coordinating the mission trips. Sarah (Ron's grand daughter) brought out a birthday cake to honor her grandfather and Bob at the evening meal. This has become a tradition for Ron to celebrate his birthday in Nicaragua.
Once again the crusade was plagued by rain. We had an absolute downpour at around four and then it rained for the rest of the evening. It rained so hard that many of the streets were flooded. Below is a picture of the crowd (all six of them) at the time the crusade was to start. The rain did slacken some and we eventually had about 250 at the crusade. Virtually all of them were church members so there were not a lot of decisions.
Thursday will be our last full day of ministry, the graduation at the Pastor's Institute and the last night of the crusade. Rain, rain, go away.
