Nicaragua LWI-Day 1-Sunday We made it here, everyone! Everyone is healthy, safe and accounted for today! We got through the airport in Houston pretty effortlessly and had a smooth flight all the way to Managua, Nicaragua. All of our baggage made it and Mary Nurre got all of our supplies onto the plane with her Global Services status with United airlines. We call that a God moment! On our approach to the Managua airport, we banked by three huge volcanoes. Bernie Palmer took a fantastic picture that we will post! We could see that Nicaragua is a beautiful, lush, green country and we are very fortunate to get to partner with Living Water. We were met at the airport by three LWI hosts: Chico, Scarlet and Eric. They drove us to the Living Water complex where we are staying and it is a gorgeous place! We are well-cared-for and have been blessed by the warm welcome of our hosts! At the complex, Jorge, the man who lives at and oversees all of the LWI operations in the Granada area. He has been overseeing all the operations in this area for 9 years and he and his family (a wife and 4 kids) all live on the complex, as well. After debriefing about the flow of the week, giving us some instructions and guidance, the ladies of our team met together to plan the hygiene and Bible lessons. Afterwards, we all took a drive into Managua and were dazzled by the aesthetics of the city: the colors, the people, the playgrounds, Lake Nicaragua, the food, the churches and the culture. We are posting pictures from the city, as well. Afterwards, we returned for an amazing team dinner at our complex, read our prayer support letters, and called it a great day #1!
