We had lots of fun in the first half of the year in our old house, inviting people over to swim:

We got to help on a couple of construction projects:
We had our first Memorial as a new congregation, Pancasan Masaya and Charley gave his first ever Memorial talk:

We got to spend some time with our friends' parents visiting from the States:

We also spent fun times with old friends, and made some new ones along the way:

We had a zone visit from Bro. Losch (it was still called that then!)


Our friend Cherub visited, and took some awesome pictures as she went!

I had my first ride on a motorbike, we moved into a new house, and then we got our own motorbike!
We had some fun times with our congregation, old and young alike.


And we were able to go back to the States for the convention season, attending the English International Convention, and then the giant Spanish convention, both held in Lucas Oil Stadium. We had a great time with family and friends, old and new, from near and far:
On returning to Nicaragua I attended Pioneer School for the third time, and Charley had the privilege of coordinating the school.

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary as a couple, and with dear friends:


And we had our Regional Convention, Charley and I both having our first parts on a convention program down here:

And somewhere in between all that we did actually go out in service!!!

ReplyDeleteGreat post Rachel!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelina,
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have been doing a lot of praying and considering our situation. We keep coming back to need greatering in Nicaragua. I found your blog online a couple months ago and have really enjoyed reading it. We have been married for a little over 3 years and have both been pioneering since graduating high schools.
While we have some savings and we know the cost of living is much lower down there, our biggest thing we are interested in knowing is how need greaters support themselves, as we would like to be able to be down there longer than shorter, if possible! Any insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, and thank you for all you are doing for Jehovah!
