First Update from Nicaragua Mission Experience

Hi All,

We are back in Managua after 9 days in Bluefields and Kukra Hill, mostly in Kukra Hill. Conditions were pretty squalid in Kukra Hill- we were basically camping out in the church building. The work was very hard with humidity around 40-50% and temps in the 90-100 degree range. Rats and geckos in the rafters, chickens and scraggly dogs everywhere. Bugs had a feast on me the last few days. We were in Bluefields only a short time and there was no internet access at all in Kukra Hill. We could not get telephone service internationally there either.

Conditions were rough and remote but I love the people down here and I truly do not want to leave. The church members who we worked with and for are wonderful, humble, hard working people full of God’s grace. They will go far. If everyone from our churches had the opportunity to experience what I have experienced, they would have a much greater sense of urgency about the crucial importance of missions at all levels to the vitality of the Christian church. See you in a few days.

Peace,
Bruce
