Safe and sound in Nicaragua!

Our flight here was great, no missing passports or lost luggage. It was so interesting to me how different I felt as soon as I stepped off the plane. We went through several lines and filled out what seemed like a thousand forms, and then we got our luggage and hopped onto to the bus! It was super hot and humid, even at 10 at night. Everyone at the airport was very friendly helping us get our lugggage on the bus and making sure we were all okay.
After a brief stop at a gas station, we were on the road. The ride was bumpy, and we soon discovered that the speed limits here are taken very lightly. It was dark outside, obviously, so this morning will be our first look at what Nicaragua is really like.
We had yummy pancakes, watermelon, and what we thought was papaya juice for breakfast. There sure are lots of animals here to wake us up! You can hear everything in this house, too; the housekeepers got up early to make breakfast and we were all awake with them.
We're going to leave for church in about 45 minutes. The service will be in Spanish, so I won't understand anything. But I kind of like not knowing the language, it's interesting to see what I can understand without knowing anything spoken. I'm looking forward to seeing what the church is like. This afternoon, we're planning on preparing for tomorrow's work.
