We are here! Its been a little bit of a whirl wind since we have arrived, so I write this a little scatter brained. Our flights here on Tuesday were went really well. There was a little bit of an issue with checking into our flight at Toronto however, due to some computer system crash, but otherwise it was smooth flying. We flew into Houston early, still not enough time to go scope out President Bush who was in town that day, so we settled to fly from Houston to Managua with the newly crowned nicarguan world champion boxer.
Steve Holtrop picked us up at the airport and drove us to the home we were staying at for a few nights. Its a beautiful condo rented out by missionairies who are currently home for three months. We went to the Nehemiah Centre Wednesday morning for a 7:30 am meeting! Not just any meeting but a round table discussion with all Nicaragua NGO representatives about the current political / cultural context issues and historical patterns found in government parties. Right up my alley but a little heavy of a topic for two sleep deprived missionaires. The rest of the day hot humid day consisted of staff orientation, and discussion about our future place of residence after our time in Leon.
So here we are Thursday morning, having been allowed to sleep in and take it easy for the day. It has been a good time to reflect and look back at this the beginning of our time here in Nicaragua and to once again see the safety and strength that God has provided for us this far.
Kevin (and April)
