Our Kingdom Hall

Some have been asking about pictures of our KH and so we thought we would oblige. (I included the icecream man in this one, evidently people buy ice cream at 8:30 on a Sunday morning? :)This is a picture of our Sunday meeting. This day we had around 140 in attendance, again this is with 65ish...

Having our cake and eating it too!

So it's been a little over one month here in Nicaragua and just now are we starting to be able to have useful conversations in the ministry. Vanessa and I just completed a second study with a woman named Sobeida. She's in her mid twenties attending a small university here in Jinotega and she...

Hopitality

We've been quite busy lately. We managed to take a vacation and go to the ocean in San Juan Del Sur. It's a little beach town that's nice but it had been raining for days and because of that we couldn't really leave the town. Our objective was to go see some large sea turtles laying their...

Los Rurales (aka the Boonies!)

A significant portion of the territory that we have is outside of the small town where we live. For a variety of reasons this type of field work is only done on Thursday's. The majority of the time is spent in the city and its' immediate environs. We drove on a paved road about 30 minutes...

Nessy's First Entry

It's finally Nessy's turn to write. I want to tell you that I love Nicaragua because every 2 or 3 days a tree ripe fresh mango drops off the neighbors tree that's over our house. It sounds like a bomb when it crashes on the roof, you know the kind of roof that looks like a wavy ruffle chip,...

Our CO and DO

Today has been the first day that we've had off since we landed here and man have we needed it! We've completed some much needed house work and slept away the rest of it. Is this what having a day off a week is really like? On a sad note that also means that yesterday was the final day of...

Jinotega

Our House and Our Street So we've arrived in Jinotega and have been crazy busy for the last several days. With the visit of both the C.O. and the D.O. there have been meetings every night. I feel real compassion for our one elder in the congregation, he has to be stressing about the...

Matagalpa Assembly

The CA in Matagalpa was a real treat. There are something like 30 special pioneers in the circuit, I'm not sure whether or not the missionaries are considered special pioneers or not but there were 6 of them at the assembly as well. It was great to see them in action. Each of them had parts...

Sun, Sea and Sand

After our close encounter of the primate kind, we caught the ferry back to the mainland and made the short journey to a beach town called San Juan del Sur on the Pacific coast. With a really laid back charm, it was the perfect place to enjoy the sun, sea and sand for a few days, and hugely...

Another Volcanic Landmass

Now adopted as Rich and Ben's travel buddy, and squeezed into their Jeep Cherokee alongside Will, another tagger-on, four enourmous bags and several smaller ones, two surfboards, a tent, numerous miscellaneous foodstuffs and a blender (essential for impromptu cocktailing), I headed in style, by...
