Flew from Houston to Managua, met the rest of the short-term missions team, and drove to the Living Water compound in Granada. We toured Granada a bit (Lake Nicaragua is the largest body of fresh water in Latin America). In addition to Greg, Phyllis, and Woodie, team members are Cindy, Marcella, Jordan, and Brian. 3 guys, 4 gals. Phyllis will be working hygiene full time and Marcella part time.

Tomorrow we'll start the well - drilling with air. And Phyllis and Marcella will have hygiene lessons - on sanitation. I prefer drilling.
Lots of thoughts as we prepare to work... all of Nicaragua is parched; they usually have a rainy season May through November but last year was dry all year, and so far this season there's been very little rain. Jorge, the Living Water director here, pointed out that if the crops fail you and I pay more for our food, but in rural communities, if their crops fail they go hungry. We can't help that larger problem, except to pray.
Isaiah 41:17-20
