Sometimes Pictures Say it Better

Hola from the United States. I am back in the United States for a quick visit so I am actually writing this from Westminster, MD.

Over the past two weeks, I had the opportunity to be a part of a team of guys who did some neat things in Nicaragua. From working in El Canyon to spending time with people who are doing important work around Managua, it was a great time. A few of us also had the opportunity to travel to the east coast of Nicaragua, which was really interesting and different from the Nicaragua I know. Overall, we saw God work in many ways and we are better for it. I will be writing more about my reflections form this time in coming weeks, but I think the best way to “tell” you about it is visually.

I hope you enjoy the photos and I hope you will check back in next week!
