You know that God is with you when the the worst airway you have seen in years is 'after hours' in a third world country and everything turns out for the best. The challenges are great but so are the rewards. Great to have a full change of clothes. Dean Athey
Despite the obvious poverty you don't hear any complaints. The mornings are beautiful. Pete
The roosters start crowing around 4:00 to 5:00 but are still able to sleep our room is one of the lucky ones that has air conditioning when the electricity is on. I know the experience is just beginning but is and will be one that will last a lifetime.
The list of lives that we have touched is growing and growing. Today breakfast is @ 8:00 - church at 9:00 - river in the P.M. with the children from the orphanage.- two school bus loads. Karl Tillinghast-
So far this trip has been amazing. I could not have asked for a better team to travel with.....at the last minute. The people that we saw at the clinic yesterday were awesome! It's neat to know that by taking off a mole, here they call it "ditzels" can really change their lives. It could be cancer. It could be cosmetic, but whatever the reason, they came to us with so much hope. The hardest thing yesterday was knowing that we had to turn people away. There are so many wonderful things that we are about to experience and do this week. We are all so enthusiastic that we are here to help them. These people are strong and they are tough and it's going to be good! Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts! We NEED THEM and so do all the people of Nicaragua...... Melissa

Bless you all for the wonderful works you are doing for these people. My parents had a farm in AZ near the border...we've seen the poverty. You are all helping so very much. Gods grace be with you each and every day. Its not only the medical team, but the ancillary kindnesses shown that will remembered too. Don't you wish you could go the ice cream shop? It is in the "doing" there. Keep in touch, get some sleep, and don't worry...be happy. You are doing what you are suppose to be doing...helping people the best you can. Hows the Spanish going Melissa, and has anyone done any teaching yet? Take care and wish I was there too.
