Hola! from Nicaragua!

It was a long day of travel, but God was good in giving us good flights and long, enjoyable layovers. When you're moving a group of 21, you need long layovers.

Lots of walking and juggling filled the time. And God blessed us by allowing us to retrieve a left-behind cell phone and a passport!

We arrived in Managua just after 10:00 pm, tired but excited. Customs was a breeze and the Project HOPE team was waiting for us with big smiles and friendly hugs. And water.

After the bus ride to the compound, some snacks and debriefing (and more water), we hit our pillows after midnight, knowing it was going to be a short night. But we were excited, because after all...as the two 3-year olds on the last flight shouted, "We're in Nicaragua!"
