Nicaragua: Lluvia (Rain) Falling

Don’t you love the sound of rain? How would you like to wake up every morning to this: We traveled to Nicaragua during the rainy season in the tropics, so lluvia, rain, falling from the sky was no surprise. We were nearly drenched when we boarded our 12-seater plane in Managua to make the jump over Lake Nicaragua to San…

Nicaragua: A Birthday in the Tropics

Birthday number 18 for my daughter was celebrated in Nicaragua. That year she worked at an eyeglass clinic in the Nicaraguan jungle. The Sabalos Lodge owner presented her with a cake at Sabalos Lodge after dinner. She celebrated her nineteenth birthday in the same place. What are the odds one of my children would spend 10.52632% of her birthdays in…

Nicaragua: Electronics and TV–is that Claro?

We noticed the Claro signs as soon as we drove out of the San Carlos airport. Bright red-orange satellite dishes on the roofs of disheveled hovels. As we drove through the rainy humid afternoon, we saw countless television screens flickering through open doors and windows, people gathered around to watch the colorful scenes. It seemed every house had a dish…

Nicaragua: The Joy of Unusual Transportation

Transportation was interesting in Nicaragua. All my friends who have taken this Nicaragua missionary trip in the past warned about one thing after the bugs and heat: “You’re not going to believe that plane flight into San Carlos.” Hey, we’re going to the jungle. What kind of transporation options do you expect? How about a 12-seater plane delayed by a…

Nicaragua: The Peace Corps Volunteers

Did you ever consider joining the Peace Corps? When you graduated from college, did you dream of living in the jungle, miles from other educated Americans and without a mini-mart on the corner? Did you hope to learn a new language by immersing yourself into a culture you didn’t know and then spend time trying to explain health care problems…

Nicaragua: Living without Bugs–or not?

I don’t like bugs. I’ve sworn for years I’d never be a missionary because I can’t stand heat or bugs. Guess what? God was merciful to me in Nicaragua: few bugs and relatively mild weather. Thanks be to God. But I went forearmed–I wasn’t taking any chances. My doctor wrote me a prescription for malaria pills–even though it was unlikely…
