We're here! We had a couple of problems on the way.
First, the weather didn't cooperate. Our flight from Dallas to Houston was canceled and we had to scramble to find another on a different airline. Unfortunately, not everyone from our group made it. A few (including our leader) were stuck in their home towns not able to get to Houston.
Second, they confiscated half our luggage. The people in customs claim we needed special papers to bring medicine into the country. That's a big change over last year when we were waived through customs without a word. Anywho, we're going to go by some special goverment offices to get a waiver before we can get started.
As usual, I have to adjust my definition of "normal". Acclamation begins on the drive from the airport to the hotel. Imagine the worst parts of Oak Cliff or Fair Park and then imagine how those are the best places in Managua. Of course, they are often right next door to a glamous Casino that could have been straight out of Vegas.
Now imagine contentment, happiness that's not defined by materialism, and a thriving church. You can find it all here.
Its after 11, so I'll keep it short. Until tomorrow ...

Hey bro, sorry we didn't get to meet for lunch yesterday. Glad the weather cleared off and you got there safe.
You've been on my mind, so I checked out the blog. Know that I am praying for answers to questions and direction to be clear.
