Today was our first full day in Nicaragua. Our day began with devotion and preparing ourselves for the week ahead. Then we had a tour of a local mission school. At the school, we saw sustainability projects consisting of fish farming and growing fruit trees.
We spent much of the day preparing for medical camps and projects at the school that will occur later in the week. We had an  opportunity to tour the local community, speaking with them about health concerns. We were welcomed into their homes and saw how they lived. We were very humbled and feel fortunate for all we have. Despite the less than optimal living conditions, all the people we encountered were grateful and happy.
This evening we reflected on our day and discussed the clinics we will be operating in the next few days. We anticipate the work will be challenging.  However, we are looking forward to the experiences of the medical camps and people we will help.
