Oh my, I’m smitten. I have fallen in love.

This is Zoey. She’s a three year old bundle of Vida. There is no lack of Abundant Life here!! How appropriate that Zoey means “life.” She is perfectly named!

She squealed, ran to me, jumped in my arms and immediately said “You speak Spanish, not English!” More than once she chastised me. I never knew most of what she said because all the adults were rolling with laughter. They told me she liked me because she likes people who look like Grandpa. OK. I’ll take it! Call me whatever you want, just let me love on this precious child.

I’ve been blessed many times this week, but one of those times was certainly when this little girl jumped into my arms; maybe THIS is why I came to Nicaragua!!!

What a blessing to be with Pastor Harrison, his beautiful wife Jenny, and the precious life—Zoey—that God has given them.
