Hey all, this is Keegan and I've been put in charge of blogging on behalf of the group. We've all arrived safely in Managua and are partaking in the "last supper" at McDonald's before we head to camp.
When getting off the plane and waiting for the bus, the resounding reaction when we began to chew on our air because of the humidity was quite funny. It's definitely stickier than in Guatemala.l
Overall looks on the faces of those I can see where I'm sitting is one of hunger yet some anticipation for what lies ahead. While I was driving with David Mimms over here, it was funny to watch him inform the individual who was washing our windows that we weren't going to pay him. He managed to get it into first gear and we moved along.
There are people all along the roads selling just about anything to make some money. There was a young boy about 8 at the airport handing us all little roses he made from leaves from the trees. He was looking for payment and was asking for our clothes. One member commented on his efforts that he'll do anything to feed his family.
We'll be leaving here to set up camp and get settled before we hit the ground running tomorrow.
Pray for energy and that everyone will stay hydrated as that could be a problem with this heat index as high as it is.
Not sure how often I'll get to post as I won't have internet where we are going, but will try to get communication out as often as I can.
The face of Jesus is found everywhere. Pray we can see him in all we do here.
You're loved.
