The big day is almost here!! Our team will be leaving early (REAL early) Thurs. morning from Omaha to Houston & then on to Managua, Nicaragua. If all things go according to plan, we should arrive in Managua around 12:30 PM. After the brutal weather we had over the weekend, the 94 degrees forecast for Managua on Thurs. is going to feel wonderful! Hopefully, we will get through customs without any problems. That is always a guessing game. Once we're through customs, we will go across the street from the airport & check in at Las Mercedes (a Best Western) and spend the rest of the day & night there. Our totes of supplies, as well as the totes from the California team, will be hauled across country by pickup to Puerto Cabezas on the Atlantic side where we will be working. We will then fly over to Puerto Cabezas Friday morning & the work will begin! We are so excited to return & feel so privileged that we are given the opportunity to serve the people of that region of Nicaragua.
We will be working long days with surgery starting on Monday & continuing through Friday & our mission will end Sat. We will try to blog as time allows & with the availability of internet service which can be unreliable. Please pray for us & especially for the people that we will be serving. They are the poorest of the poor &need all the love, support & prayers we can give them.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers as you travel and work! God bless you!
