ZZZZZZZZZ....................

The title says it all.  This morning Demo had to be back in Managua ( which is 3 hours from New Song Mission) at 8 a.m. for his seminary classes.  We really enjoyed staying up last night, spending time with Diego and the rest of the missionaries at New Song.  We enjoyed it so much that before we knew it, the time read 3:30 am, and the alarm was set for 5 am. Without Demo spotting cows and horses, as well as motorcycles and bicycles, coming back could have been even more of an adventure.  

When we arrived back in Managua, we toured Demo's seminary, and enjoyed meeting some of his classmates.  After getting cleaned up, taking a little bit of a siesta, we began to detail out the schedule for next week. Two new organizations that we had not been in contact with are now on our schedule.  The Nicaragua Christian Academy is a school with many of the teachers being missionaries.  We have been speaking with  Sylvia Mejia who is an administrator at the school.  We will be going to visit and tour the school this week.  The other mission we are going to be visiting is Centro ABEM (http://www.edgar.abwe.org/home-page ) Demo spoke of them as we drove passed their mission on the way to Chichigalpa yesterday.  They have over 160 acres, team house to sleep over 100 people, and sporting complexes. We are very excited to go and visit with them this week as well.

Tomorrow we will be heading to the Remar Church, to surprise the the boys from the orphanage.  They have no clue we are in Nicaragua. We plan on driving to meet a missionary friend of Demos who is in from the states.  Demo turned down the working with Scott, to spend the week with us.  We are grateful for this, and want to make sure he can spend sometime with him.  

Thank you guys for your support and prayers, and caring about our journey.  We check in with Open Hearts tomorrow, and are excited to spend the next week with The Buzbee Family.  

Until tomorrow,

Uncle B-rad
