We made it!!

Just a little note to say that we arrived in Nicaragua last night. Unfortunately our suitcases didn't make the trip with us, but hopefully they arrive today! At least we have clothes at the house so it wasn't as bad as when we arrived for the very first time without our luggage!!

We were supposed to arrive Wednesday but we just came in last night, Friday. When we got to Atlanta they were asking for volunteers to get the next day's flight bc they had oversold this one. They offered a night in a hotel, food vouchers, and $700 for future travel which can be used over the next year! So, we couldn't resist!!! To cut a long story short, we did it again the next night too!! So we each have $1450 to spend on travel with Delta over the next year - woohooo!!!!! So, that's why our bags didn't make it since our plans got all changed up.

But we're here and trying to get settled in. Although we won't really settle in yet bc our landlady and all her family are coming tomorrow so we're going to stay with our friends Brenda and Caleb for a week, which is fine because it's close to our territory and we're host congregation for the Circuit Assembly so we'll be right there for all that activity.

Hopefully by December 2nd after the assembly we can finally get ourselves settled!

In the meantime, we're going to test out the new swimming pool that we now have in our back yard - life is rough down here!!

I'll blog more about our last few weeks in the US later. For now, I gotta go swim!

  2. Welcome back, neighbors! I'm so jealous about your flights. I always hope that will happen to me and it NEVER does
