Well, I am off to Nicaragua!

That is assuming nothing odd happens and i don’t make it on the plane…  I am super excited for this trip.  I am going with a varied group of people (most from the church at Slate Hill Mennonite), and we will be building a church building near Leon, Nicaragua.  misc facts, it will be warm (85s this week), but not as warm as PA right now.  It will probably rain alot, thunderstorms are in the forcast.  I think they had a hurricane a week or so ago?  I am taking some fun toys to hopefully give away down there, frisbee (of course) soccer ball, and to inspire artists, a water colour set.

It felt so awesome to leave work friday, now granted i left late because i was trying to wrap up lots of lose ends for being away this week, but it was sweet.  When i walked out the door and locked up, it felt like i was about to spend a day at the beach.  yes, that exciting!  they heat helped that feeling.

pray for travel, and good experiences.  also that we get the building done.  power lines are down from a bad storm last week, so we are renting a generator (hopefully) and may need to use more hand tools than we expected to.  but of course things won’t go as smoothly working on a construction site in latin america like it would around here – which is what i am used to.

I am off to the airport, and will be back next monday sometime.
