It's only been 4 months but we have finally finished searching for English speakers in La Paz Centro. There are already 4 bible studies in progress but now the task will be to call back on all the interest.. While we were finishing up the last couple of blocks we came across this interesting tree. It is a
Jicaro Tree and here in Nicaragua they use it to make a drink called
Semilla de Jicaro.

For the last few weeks plans have been underway to celebrate Brad and Lydia's wedding anniversary. Personally, I think the kids just wanted an excuse to get together and party! Thanks Brad and Lydia for giving them a good reason!
So... this wasn't just a quick "lets get together on Friday" plan... No, this was a full out fiesta at Poneloya Beach. They arranged to have a
Pelibuey slaughtered and cooked for the occasion and then made arrangements for the rest of the meal (potato salad, tortillas, cupcakes and pop). They organized rides for everyone to and from the beach and somehow they managed to keep the rain at bay! The evening was a huge success - everyone had a great time. Good job guys!
