A notable sign

I'm sorry I haven't been able to write in a while, all of our power went out and I couldn't get reception anywhere. I'm good, not as sick anymore. It has rained everyday. We have done programs in the pouring rain and have seen hundreds of kids. Nicaragua is extremely poor compared to El Salvador. There are street kids everywhere. Even though El Salv has more gangs than Nicaragua, I think I have seen them at the majority of the programs here. During one of the programs we prayed for a little girl who was deformed from birth. As we were praying her originally scrunched up arms, hands, and legs started to straighten. It was incredible! This whole week has been awesome.

Acts 4:14-22 
But seeing the man who was healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition.
But when they had commanded them to leave the council, they conferred with one another,
saying, "What shall we do with these men? For that a notable sign has been performed through them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name."
So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge,
for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard."
And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people, for all were praising God for what had happened.
