Yesterday I woke up in Portland, OR to the sound of coffee grinding and bagels being toasted. This morning, the screeching of parrots, splash of water on a tin roof, and sticky, humid air were my wake up call. I foggily opened my eyes, and then suddenly remembered where I was-Managua, Nicaragua.
I'm in Managua with a team of 9 from Antioch Church, in Bend, OR. We're all quite different, ranging in age and even more-in interests, but for the next 7 days we'll all be together working with a ministry called House of Hope and the Nehemiah Center. Our host family is an American couple and their six children who live and work in Managua full time. We have the privilege of staying in their beautiful home for the length of our stay.
I'm not much of a blogger, so this will mostly just be jumbled thoughts, questions and observations-perhaps the photography will make up for it.
Amanda,
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to share your beautiful pictures. They are really interesting, and give me a window into that culture and into the lives of those who live there. Thanks for capturing that.
