Nicaragua 2011

Highlights from the first ever Missions trip taken by Aurora and Willow.  One week in Nicaragua (mostly Managua) with a team from Antioch.  Three days at House of Hope, a day touring Managua and learning Nicaraguan political and cultural history, a day at Matagalpa looking at the site for a new Christian school, (as well as a trip to the only Young Life camp in Nicaragua), two long days traveling, and a special opportunity for the girls to meet our Compassion child, Olga, in Leon.  So much to process.  So much to be thankful for.  God is good!
