We have had a remarkable first 48 hours in Nicaragua. The Lord has gone before us in every way!! After a truly smooth flight Friday morning, we landed in Managua and God moved us and our 14 bags of luggage through Immigration and Customs in (what has to be a record!) 25 minutes,
Pastor Aburto, Sr. (Pastor Aburto's father) and the youngest son, Gabrielle, picked us up in a pick up truck and drove us to their house in San Marcos. Gabriel traveled the entire way from the airport to their house on top of our suitcases in the back of the pickup. Do you know of a 13 year old in America who would do that without complaining? Best I can tell, children here in Nicaragua aren't allowed to complain.
We climbed up though the glorious mountains of Western Nicaragu past pineapple farms and other fincas to the cool area known as San Marcos. I think St. Mark would have liked it here.
As we rested from our trip and readied ourselves for the Crusade, we had the privilege of meeting the visiting pastor who would preach much of the Crusade. We had a meaningful, though difficult conversation, in two languages about Romans 8:1, the passage on which he would preach that night. Isn't God wonderful to have the preaching on one of our favorite chapters in the entire Bible.
More later...Pastor Aburto's entire extended family shares this cellular modem and one of the younger boys has been waiting.
We are so sorry that we aren't abl to post pictures. We'll keep trying Perhaps when we get to Granada.
