Into the Heat

My travels yesterday went well and no issues came up, which means I still have a clear travel record...unless you include the time when Kevin and I flew home last June and almost missed our connector flight in Houston and had to run like mad through the whole airport, but that's a near miss, not an actual mishap. Everytime I fly I wonder if that will be the time that I have one of those atrocious experiences that many people so often pull out of their repitoir of travel horror stories. Otherwise, I don't worry about it too much about flying and just go about my way.

Don Miguel had his taxi ready at the airport and brought me to Alma's place. Miguel is a trustworthy man that the Nehemiah Center often contracts his business so guests and staff alike can make it where they need to go safely. Although I didn't sleep well cause of all the animal noises, car horns, bombas and all these many other wonderful Managua sounds. Give me a few days and I should be used to it all again.

Steve and I are trying to confirm all our plans that we have for the Faith Burlington team that is coming on Tuesday. I hope to keep everyone updated on their trip via my blog so those who are wondering can rest assure. The team will be here from Jan 26 - Feb 1 and will be focusing on visioning for the partnership with the Nehemiah Center/ Leon churches, which Faith Church is committed to.

Heading into a weekend I see many things to keep me busy, I just hope that with most people not working that I can get the stuff done that I need to.

Settled in Leon

We have finally made it to the long talked about city of Leon. It is a colonial city with much character and a hometown feel. Our homestay family is so warm and welcoming, already trying to teach us Spanish! We had a wonderful rice, beef and plantain dinner just before venturing out to visit the city. And now we happened upon this internet cafe right around the corner.

Once we can get our previous blogs posted, which are saved on our computer, you can read up on our travels and first few days here.

Even though the days have been long and overwhelming we are very excited to see what God has in store for us. Thank you to all for your prayers, emails and telling us about what we have already missed from home this past week.
