HCS #2

Greetings All!

Well, we're one week out from our departure to Nicaragua. Please keep our entire team in your prayers.

I've studied a little this morning and found out that Managua is about 1400 miles due south of our home here in Georgia. It's only about a 3-4 hour flight non-stop to Managua from Atlanta. The weather is very similar to weather here in Georgia. Right, now we're looking at lower 90s while we're there and a good chance of thunderstorms.

Daniel Ortega is the current president in Nicaragua. He took office in January 2007. He has been involved in Nicaraguan politics since the days of the Sandinistas and Contras back in the 80's. President Bush reportedly called him and congratulated him on his election.

The team will be busy gathering items this week to take with us to the relief center.

Muggy, Erik and I are all very excited. I'm going to borrow a phrase from a dear friend of ours, Linda up in Brainerd, MN. She said in an email this week to "splash the living water in Nicaragua!!"

Thanks Linda!

More later, Ken
