Since Tuesday we've participated in the MCC Mesoamerica retreat, hosted here in Managua. MCC workers from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica all converged on a hotel here in town for three days of reflection. Our theme was "nurturing our spirits in a cross-cultural setting." We enjoyed the interaction w/ MCC friends, the moments of personal reflection, the hymn sing, and air conditioned rooms. The annual talent show was also a hit - our Nicaragua team performed some traditional Nicaraguan dances, the Guatemala team wrote a song about MCC life, and several kids from Mexico sang Christmas songs. Here are some photos from our week:
