MCC Mesoamerica Retreat

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:
