They are there - day 1 in Nicaragua

Packed and ready to go




They left Wednesday at 7:00am (they were up at 4am).

They had a great flight and were in Managua, Nicaragua by 12N (2pm here). They skyped me that evening, everyone was great just a little tied.

Today they spent the day in Managua (the capital of Nicaragua) and will leave for Somoto tomorrow.

They just skyped me to tell me about all their adventures.

This morning hey met with an organization that feeds 13,000 Nicaraguans a day. They work a lot with people that live on and around the Managua dump -VERY poor. He took the team to the dump, and to see the feeding project. They played with some of the kids, and visited in some of the make shift houses (huts). Chris said the boys were shocked by what they saw, and were processing the fact that people live this way.

During the afternoon they had a little fun and went to climb a volcano.

Chris says the boys are doing fantastic, jumping right in and doing what ever is needed - no complaining.

I am SO proud of them.

They are taking pictures and we will post them when they get back. I don't know what internet access they will have in Somoto - so not sure if I will get many updates.

The trip was COMPLETELY funded, plus we had money to take and donate there. We can not thank everyone enough for supporting this trip, we feel very blessed - and thank God for His provision.
