Nicaragua '13

We learned from our first trip to Nicaragua, that the word "flexibility" is a key word and one that we have come to be very familiar with.  Just a few nights ago, we learned that, due to unforeseen circumstances, the 2 physicians with the California part of our team are not able to go to Nicaragua with us in February.  Of course, that news blindsided all of us but we still knew that we all wanted to go back in whatever capacity that we could be used, whether it was medical or non-medical.  We now have learned that we will be working with Nicaraguan doctors, plastic surgeons from Managua.  That is great news and will be a blessing for the people in Nicaragua who have been waiting for our team to return.  We don't have a lot of details yet so are anxiously waiting to hear more news.  But our hearts are with the people of Nicaragua so we are happy to serve them in any way we can.  Please keep us in your prayers.
