The Countdown Begins!

I officially have less than 1 month until I go back to Nicaragua this summer.  This will be my longest summer yet to spend there at 2 1/2 months.  I will be privilaged to work with 5 different volunteer groups, one of which is a medical mission, from the States.  I also hope to do more traveling and to see more of the country that I have fallen in love with.  It feels like just last week my countdown was 9 months and now I am counting the days at 30.  The town that I will be spending most of my time in is called San Jose de Cusmapa, Nicaragua.  It is about 4500 ft in altitude and there is always a nice breeze so I thankfully dont have to deal with mosquitos all day.  The climate cannot be matched in the fact that you can see a cactus, a pine tree and a bananna tree all within 5 feet of each other.  The people that live in Nicaragua are so genuine and thankful for what they have and I hope to share individual stories with you this summer.  Please keep myself, the volunteer groups and the people of Nicaragua in your prayers this summer!  Dios se Bendiga! ( God Bless!)
