Two Days in Managua

Ena and I left on the Platinum King Quality bus at 1:45 p.m. on Friday.  

About 12 hours later, we were settling in to our room at the Canizalez home in Managua, Nicaragua, and they were wonderful hosts.  

Saturday was a full and "very special" day.  Both Ena and I got manicures and pedicures at Bea's Salon.  Beatriz is a member of the church and our special day was her treat!  We also had lunch at the Hotel Intercontinental, courtesy of another family.  In the evening we set up the tables, chairs and decorated for the event.

Sunday was another whirlwind day.  Church first thing and then lunch at Rosti Pollos, leaving us with about an hour and half before we had to be at the event. 

 There were more than 40 women in attendance and it was amazing to hear their sweet voices singing praises to our great God.  Ena did an amazing job with her teaching about Mary and Martha from Luke 10.  

It was a great lesson for all us . . . . we need to keep our priorities in order and not be so busy that we, like Martha, could hear Jesus telling us that we need to choose the "best" thing like Mary did.

The night was a short one--we headed to the bus station at 2:00 a.m.!  Glad to be back home and sleep in my own bed!
