Arriving in Managua and in Verbo


















Hello Everyone,
We arrived at Norfolk International Airport at early 0' thrity this morning ready to set forth on the trip to Nicaragua. We all pulled together to redistribute the weight in our bags and make it through without incurring any extra charges for the baggage. During our first flight it was quiet as we reflected on what God had in store for us. Others used this opportunity to catch some much needed z's. Each flight was fairly brief lasting around 2.5 - 3.5 hours. On the flight from Houston to Nicaragua we experienced a little turbulence, which left a couple of us a little nervous, but we survived. We manuevered our way through three airports without any problems. The only causualty was some of us did not receive our baggage today. It is at the airport, but there was not room on the plane for it without exceeding weight limits, so it will be delivered tomorrow. We definitely enjoyed our time together getting to share experiences and information about ourselves. We arrived at the Verbo compound, where we were shown to our very nice rooms. Then we enjoyed a most delicious chicken and rice dish with fried plantains. Now we have some time to freshen up. We will meet a little later for Bible study and then we will get some much needed sleep. Today, although filled with excitement, and the blessing of each other's company, we are ready to decompress and catch some z's. Tomorrow we will try to upload some pictures. Talk to you tomorrow.

God Bless,
Nic Mssion Team
