Plantains!!!!

It has been one year since our team left Nicaragua and I was so excited this morning about coming back.  For months I have been praying and anticipating the amazing ways God is going to move in our hearts and lives this week.  Although I will say I hadn't planned on Him moving quite so early.....waking up at 3:30 am for our 5:45 red-eye flight was an adventure to say the least.


Meeting up with everyone from our team in Houston we were excited to see familiar faces and meet new team members.  The flight from Houston was uneventful mainly due to the lovely United Airlines tv's that were available but only worked for the first 20 minutes of the flight.  

We made it to Managua around 11:30 am.  We were so excited to see Rigoberto who greeted us and helped us load into a school bus.  That's right.......eleven missionaries and a school bus equals crazy good times.  It was so cool to drive down familiar streets and finally pull in at Hotel Casa San Juan....or as we call it- home.  We ate a marvelous lunch and then grabbed the zzz's we had been denied that morning.  


Dinner can be summed up in one word- PLANTAINS!!!! These are the most marvelous part of the meals.  I was able to nab 3 for myself.......let's be honest 4 would have been a gross infringement on everyone else who would have been deprived.  I have the best roomies in the world!  Shout out to Lauren and Luisa who have to be blessed by my presence all week.
