Nicaragua Travel Update #2

Travel group 2 led by Luke (Quinn's junior small group, Lindsey's junior small group and all sophomores) has landed safely in Nicaragua.  The group has cleared customs and is currently boarding the bus to head to the Casa Bernabe Team Center where they will eat dinner and head to bed.

The Sophomore boys will wait in the airport with Travis for about 30 minutes for our final group to arrive.  We will leave promptly and get group 3 fed and to bed.

Everything has been very smooth all day long.  Thank you for your prayers.

Dios Te Bendiga,

Nicaragua Travel Update #1

Craig's Group (all seniors) arrived safely and on time at 1:15pm local time.  The team breezed through customs and headed to the Casa Bernabe Team Center for lunch and some well deserved rest. 

After some downtime the team was treated to a tour of some Nicaraguan cultural sites to get more aquatinted with the culture in which they will be serving.

Currently, the senior portion of the team is finishing up dinner and then headed to bed after a long day of travel.  

Everyone is in good spirits and eager to begin the work the Lord has laid out for us tomorrow.

We will send a text to confirm the arrival of the remaining two groups and do a final blog post tonight so everyone can be assured the full team has arrived safe and sound.

Dios Te Bendiga,

SM Staff Team
