We really enjoyed spending time with the group from Messiah College who was here for a couple weeks working with Food for the Hungry. They spent a day with us, hearing about MCC Nicaragua, hanging out with some young people from Anabaptist churches here, and heading to one of our partner organizations for a Misa Campesina (Catholic mass in the style of the accessible, contextualized masses in the countryside). We also enjoyed tagging along with them as they went to Chinandega, hiked through a bat cave, and swam in a crater lake. And we were glad to get to know their guides, including Andrea (who has other great pictures posted on her blog). It was great to meet them and hear their thoughts and reflections. It's a good place, that Messiah College!
(At right . . . hiking up Volcan Masaya in the evening. Spanish missionaries put up the cross to claim the volcano, which had received many human sacrifices and was known as the mouth of hell. Now that is a missionary! :))
