Yesterday was bus ridge #5 to Managua, Nicaragua. I'd like to say that it gets a little easier every time, but that wouldn't be right. Actually, yesterday's trip went as smoothly as a 3:00 a.m. wake-up call and a 15 hour drive in a hot bus can go. The borders weren't especially difficult--just the usual waiting in line and paying the $30 in visa fees.
For those of you who know the building at the Honduran border (ceilings missing and/or falling, abundance of pigeons, etc.), it was closed and immigration was in a newer, remodeled building along the side. That in itself was a blessing! We passed by the "easier" of the two Nicaragua borders and without the inflatable in the bus, we had no problems crossing. Not like last year, when they made us take all of our luggage out of the bus and open it for inspection.
We got settled into our room and had our favorite meal at the Hotel Estrella restaurant. We barely made it to 9:00 p.m. before we fell into bed.
This morning we will worship with Iglesia Bautista Vida Nueva, Managua, and the team that is here from North Carolina. Please pray for our week: Kids Clubs in neighborhood parks in the mornings and neighborhood campaigns with movies in the evenings.
If you're experiencing cold weather this week, please remember us as the daily temps here in Managua will be in the mid-90's!
