Shit this aint livin'

After 10 hours in a bus from the not so beautiful San Salvador we arrived in León, Nicaragua. I had received an e-mail from a surfer guy called Fito that we could couch surf at his place so as soon as we arrived I called him up. He asked us to come to a newly opened hostel called Cama Léon so we...

Back in Nicaragua after Pioneer School and Leah's Wedding

Pioneer School 2009!!! In Aug. we went back to the U.S. for pioneer school. It was so great. Our instructors were excellent teachers, “the gold standard,” as some might say (imagine with Bro. Velucci's voice) and our classmates really set the bar high for good preparation and comments. Being...

My Favorite Moment in Rural Territory

My Favorite Moment in Rural Territory: We’ve begun working our rural territory as a congregation more often. We pile on the bus, or sometimes in a brother’s truck and head out for a whole day of preaching. We are on foot most of the day. It is great. The young brothers and sisters really...

Las Islas del Maíz

Llegar a las Corn Islands no fue fácil. De hecho, fue la peor experiencia de transporte que hemos tenido hasta el momento. Casi 6 horas de barco por el mar Caribe… Y pensaréis, que idílico… pues NO! Lo primero que nos dieron al subir al barco fue un chaleco salvavidas y una bolsa de...

San Juan del Sur

Well I ended up staying an entire week in San Juan becuase I was having so much fun and loving spending time by the beach. The live music turned out to be great fun, especially because there was an amazing couple of (relative) oldies who were having a whale of a time, grooving along with more...

Isla de Ometepe

Granada, Nicaragua

Well I'm not sure what those boys were going on about....Granada is beautiful and maybe one of my favourite cities so far. I can see their point that it probably isn't a good exaple of 'true' Nicaragua as it is quite touristy in the main areas, but still the buildings are gorgeous, brightly...

Leon

So that evening Lennart and I had a very nice relaxed supper in a restuarant across from our hostel and spent the next day just wandering round the city. April is apparently the hottest month in Nicaragua so around midday it simply gets too hot to explore. Luckily our hostel has a very small,...
