I made it! I almost missed my connecting flight on Saturday because of a small maintenance problem with the plane and the snow. Other than that, everything went smoothly. I am living with a family while attending the language school to continue studying Spanish. It is nice to experience a typical home life of a Nicaraguan family. I had the chance to tour Managua yesterday with one of the members of the family and was able to see the Presidential palace, “Parque Central,” places where the earthquake of 1972 hit, and where Daniel Ortega has rebuilt new homes. He was very proud to show me around and answer all my questions! It has also been interesting to learn more of the history of the country and some of the current events going on now.
On January 29, I’ll be leaving here and going down to the Centro Rural Metodista again in Ciudad Quesada, Costa Rica. (And I’m looking forward to see the CUMC team there in February!)
I want to thank all of you who are supporting me financially and through your prayers and words; as well at Catonsville United Methodist Church. This would not be possible without you and I am so grateful!
