Nicaragua Trip

Finally found some time to pick some pictures from the trip. The trip went very well. I went with a group from Church. I taught English. Some will teach at the Bible Institute, lead the evening Children's Ministry, and others help in the Orphanage. One of the things I love about teaching English is that when you have learned a little Spanish, you start using it. Well, when I pronounce some of the words, the kids burst out laughing. Of course, I get a little smile when I hear them speak an English word. I am trying, they are trying, we all have great fun. Here are some pictures from the trip.

These first shots aren't too bad. I am taking the pictures from the airplane window.







Here are a couple of shots from our hotel in Managua.




We went to a local restaurant. They did a good job performing. But after an hour of the same tune, it started to get old.


These people sold their homes, possessions and are living in this tent community to protest in what they believe.




The water raging there is going over a spill way of which we need to drive on to get across. The bridge that we are standing on wasn't finished yet. We had to turn around and go back to Managua for the night.




Children from the local school in Juigalpa.


The children ministry that we put on. There was no electricity for that overhang, for two of the three nights we put it on.








Me with the kids. What precious kids they are. Love everyone of them.




A church that we got to visit while there. What a wonderful time we had worshiping with them. They sure know how to jam.


A beautiful shot of the a Volcano from the airplane. I don't know which one that is.


I had a great time. Great things are happening there. This was my third time to Nicaragua. Each time there I get closer to the translators, pastors, and especially the children.


**DISCLAIMER** If you feel/concern that my English was not good enough after reading this post, then please feel free to make arrangements for the trip in Oct 2009. I look forward in working with you. :)
