Have you ever spent approx. 36 hours on a charter bus with basically no air-flow except what creeps through the cracked windows when the bus is flying down the road, with just a 6 hour stop to sleep at a small hotel in El Salvador, only to get stuck in a country riddled with political problems and corruption up to their eye-balls for another 6 hours without that air-flow that is so needed? I have. It’s how we finally arrived into Nicaragua. We left Antigua, Guatemala Friday morning at 9 am, drove through the border of El Salvador, and stopped at the border of Honduras for a quick little cat nap for 6 hours before heading for the border for (hopefully) only a short trip through Honduras and into Nicaragua. However, for some strange reason unknown to us World Racers, we got through Honduras with little effort, but once we hit the border to get out of Honduras, we sat for around 6 hours in the sweltering heat because the border was “closed.” Then finally someone said “I guess we can open the border now…” So we drove for another 4 hours to Managua, Nicaragua, where we had to catch a bus to Jinotepe where Team Ninja will be this final month. Team Ninja and Team Lunchbox will be working side by side this month with a missionary couple, Lynne and Glenn Schweitzer, hanging out with young kids, working with families in the barrios, or slums, and doing stuff with the church.
With these two teams coming together, we are ready to do some crazy stuff, finishing out this trip strong and just walking in excitement for what the Lord is doing here in Nicaragua.
Please be praying for endurance, motivation, and focus as we complete this trip and transitioning into life and ministry back in The States.
Thanks for reading.
