Update On Our Trip to Nicaragua

Family and friends,

Hey all, I just wanted to give you a quick update about our upcoming trip to Nicaragua. We’re getting really excited about going!

Health Education

Sheryl and Jann have assembled a bunch of supplies and materials for the health education classes. I sat in on a meeting last week and listened to them put the final touches on the schedule. I made sure to chime in with a joke or statement every now and then. I didn’t receive any eye rolls, so I know I didn’t over do it.

Micro-Finance/ Business as Missions

This will be an ongoing work on my part. I will be doing an assessment and identifying some projects to focus on over the next year. I’ve just been doing a bunch of research. I would tell you more but I don’t want to blather on about something that you are not interested in. If you would like to hear more about this stuff let me know.

Clean Water

We will be installing clean water filters and supplying clean water kits. A couple different teams have been working to get to this point and we will be picking up with where they left off. We have some documentation that we are reading through to prepare for things when we get there.

Second Week Activities Planning

The second week is going to be a little less structured. We will be moving from Leon to Managua and meeting up with a few different orgs. We’ve identified a few things to do, and remain flexible for changes.

We just wanted to thank you for your support and prayer! We will give a full report upon our return.
