Niños everywhere!

Yesterday we worked at the abwe center to help the nationals put on a camp for some of the local children and we had an absolute blast! We were all stretched linguistically And everyone had a story of a conversation they had with a Spanish speaker despite the barrier. I can't wait for you to hear all their stories in person.

Lots of soccer and lots of swimming in our down time. We love you all and are so appreciative of your prayers.

PS: I apologize for not being able to post photos on here, technology right? I'm working on finding a way to share those with you.

First full day

Well our first full day is done in Managua. I honestly can't believe just two days ago I was worrying about the process of getting here, and here we are chugging along. The girls had an opportunity to meet some cool young ladies at the feeding center while the guys helped move dirt. Typical.
It was a day full of anticipation as we looked toward the week's ministry and how we will use the skills God has prepared us with. Tomorrow is a full day of helping with camp and loving kids. The adventure is just begun, but it already feels as though we've been here for a while. We're settled and ready to go.

Looks like we made it

We have arrived! Just as Bilbo ran out of his house without his pocket-handkerchief, so too has or adventure started with a rush of adrenalin.
After spending far more time in Dayton than we wanted, and far less time in Atlanta than we planned (about the amount of time it takes to run the length of a terminal), we boarded the plane that waited solely for us and made our trek into Managua.
So far everything we have seen of Nicaragua has been in the dark, but already as i see people milling around this morning we are being greeted by a while new environment.
I was reminded through our airport "fun" just how much God is in control. We made our plans, we checked them twice, and still couldn't get out of Dayton without putting our flexibility, patience, and trust to the test. We trusted that God would guide us through our Atlanta transit and He did. I am so thankful that He is in charge and not me.
Thank you so much for your prayers.
