It is great to be sweating here in Nicaragua with my brothers on the elder team.  As others have mentioned we had an adventurous beginning but we are all here now. 

It is such an honor to be here with such a great group of guys.  We went to church today and it was wonderful to worship with a bunch of brothers and sisters from a totally different culture.  We sang songs in Spanish, Miskito, and English.  I can't wait to get to heaven and worship the Lord with people from every tongue and nation and culture today, was just a dim picture of the future. 

Tomorrow we have a full day of preparation for our pastors conference and will visit the school and the clinic while they are open and people are there.  Anyway we are alive, here, and all is well.
