Welcome to León, Nicaragua!

The 2-1/2 hour ride was colorful
with just about every kind of
vehicle on the roads with us.

We have arrived safely at our volunteer house in León. Not too much of an adventure, but still a long day. We left our Houston hotel at 6:30 in the morning, and arrived at our home for the week around 3:30 in the afternoon. Upon pulling up to the front gate, we realized it was more of a compound than a house! After the appropriate horn signal, an armed guard opened the steel gate so we could enter.

Douglas sharing some of what
we will be doing this week.

Our hosts for the week showed us the compound and gave us an introductory talk. We learned about our daily schedule, and how much of the day was left up to Jesus' schedule. Some of us will be working the drilling team, others the education team, and a few of us chose to try some of each.

Douglas is our main host. He lives in the compound with his wife and young son, and is very passionate about Living Water International.Our hygiene education host, Hacknier, is quite pregnant so will be guiding us from the compound while Johanna will translate for us. We will meet Johanna on Monday.

After a wonderful spaghetti and meat ball dinner, prepared by two of our cooks, Claudia and Evania, we finished settling in and are getting ready for a much needed night's sleep.

Good night!
The PCB Living Water Team.
