6:30 am. Cup of coffee. Seems I'm the first one out. Sitting in the kitchen. Rained all night. Had the luxury of a bed. Cold water shower. Our hosts are setting up for breakfast.
Long day yesterday. Only small glitch was Sean forgetting his passport. His mom showed up in the nick of time and saved the day. The entire team made it out together.
Flights to Nicaragua uneventful. On the first leg out, I sat forward and waited for everyone to depart. You wouldn't believe how many passengers stopped to complement me on how great the kids were. Seems they shared the mission of the trip with everyone who would listen.
Had a fun flight from Manuagua to Porto Cabasis in an antique 12 seater plane (took three to get us here). Flew above the jungle and landed safely. Praise God.
We're staying on a large church compound in the middle of town. Our hosts are most gracious. Greeted with a snack of tortillas, beans and shredded cheese. When we arrived it was muggy - 190% humidity.
Roosters, parrots and dogs roam the compound.
Had a great dinner by candlelight last night - the power went out for 6+ hours.
Prayer time outside at 8:00 when a cool breeze picked up. All made it to bed early.
The troops are in good spirits. An amazing group of kids. All are well and excited about the prospects of the coming week.
God is good.

God is Great! AAAAAUUUURRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH! How I wish I was with you all. Flying above the jungle! What a great adventure God has in store for you guys! Keep you eyes on the prize team, God will show you what it is. Don't kick the parrots (Russell) and don't get pecked by the roosters. Oh, and see how far you can swat one of those B52 mosquitos with a tennis racket! Have fun and enjoy Gods blessings He is about to pour out on you all.
Praying for you all
Peace and blessings
