10/6/11

Hello from Nicaragua Central America. After departing LAX around 1:30AM Thursday and successfully getting all  school paks checked in we were asked to rearrange the contents of our "carry on" items according to some "new airline rules". Basically it was like plating musical chairs with our carry on clothes and personal items. ("Hey you take my shoes and I'll carry you shampoo and toothpaste.") We must have done alright because they let us board. With a short layover in San Salvador, (which only involved switching planes once!), we were on our way to Managua, Nicaragua. After landing and meeting old friends Jerson and Elias, our driver extraordinaire, we had lunch and a looong drive to Somoto for the night. It's a good thing he's and excellent driver 'cause he scares us to death. Bill (or as we fondly call him, Beeel) was asked to preach and sing at a local church while the rest of us had dinner. The folks at the restaurant changed the Spanish music to some 70's classics just for us. Go Bee Gees!

We then spent a short time packing around 50 paks for our first school pak distribution at a local village tomorrow morning. Lots of challenges today for sure, but none of them were a surprise to God who was faithful to bring us through. Gotta go, I think there's only two showers in the whole hotel so I'm talking mine tonight to avoid the MORNING RUSH! If you'd like to join us, meet the team in the hotel lobby at 8AM sharp.
