que pasa?well, today is a real scorcher, but we have gotten/ are getting a lot done. we left early and drove an hour to the seaside town of Puerto Sandino where we had two fiestas and a lot of street witnessing.
From Terry:
“Sandino” refers to Augusto Sandino from which the “Sandinistas” derive their name. He was a revolutionary General whose name and figure are as recognizable in Nicaragua as George Washington is in the US. His image is abundant in Nicaragua and known by all:
there was a big hubbub with the transportation situation (we had to rent- our Barbie pink bus broke down). only a few of us were able to return to Leon and minister at the Las Tias (the aunts) orphanage, prepare for this evenings crusade and then return to Pto. Sandino at five o’clock.
the town has a beautiful black sand beach and the most gentle waves and pet toucans. it’s different than many of the other towns because there are many folks there from Nicaragua’s Atlantic coast, and many of them are at least partially bilingual - that’s refreshing.
anyway, there is a line for the computer so i’ll sign off, but things are going great and we miss you guys a lot.
talk to you later!
