Friday Night in Chinindega

Wow, long day and it´s only 6:30 in the evening. Drove from Managua through Leon and on to Chinindega today. That´s where we are staying tonight. Visited the Mission Center with Roberto Carlos, our connection here. Met lots of good people there - including the former president of the Lutheran Church -Canada and his wife who are here for 3 months. Very nice people.

This afternoon went to the community of LaJolla. This community was formed when the people moved from the side of one of the many volcanoes here, for safety. There are around 600 children; currently only 25 of them attend school. Precious kids, as you can imagine. Yes, I took a couple of pictures. They really are darling.

Ate dinner (I had chicken chalupas) and came back to the hotel for the evening. I´m mentally drained, but it´s been a great day. I learned lots. Have a great evening.

    Hello Friend,
    I'm glad to hear you arrived safe and had a great day. I'm sure you took only a few pictures, I can't wait to see them. Be safe, and tell Rudy I said Hello.
    Love,
    Casey
