Nicaragua Day #1 (12/13/11)

We arrived in Nicaragua and were greeted by our friendly host and missionaries: Kim Hyang Ja and her husband Mr. Lee! We are so well taken care of here. We've met Cristobal, Pedro, Franksuat, and Bethsuat. The missionary has been sharing her vision and philosophy with us. She doesn't believe in forcing yourself to suffer when you don't have to. It's kind of a glorified picture of what we think a mission should look like. Instead, she was telling us to enjoy the country, know that there is poverty and injustice. She told us to take that knowledge and continue to pray for the country, use the resources God has gifted you with and use them for the poor and hungry. I'm excited for our future plans this week.
