For Christmas here in Nicaragua they do things a little bit differently than in the states. There’s no waiting for Santa, snuggling up by the fire to keep warm, listening to chrismas music and no eating Christmas cookies. Here in Nica they celebrate by partying all night long, dancing to Bachata, setting off fireworks, beating Pinatas and sleeping all Christmas day. My team and I went to a Nica party Christmas Eve, went to a friends house and watched movies and ate food all Christmas day and on the 26th we went to a place called Laguna De Apoyo (a lake inside of a volcano crater) for a 3 day vacation. I’m having some trouble uploading the videos I took but here are a few pics from the vacation and walking around the town I live in.

Great pics dude. Looking forward to getting back with you guys. I was just thinking about you this morning. The community living thing has come up a couple of times in conversation. I’ll keep praying and thinking through that with you.
Hey Trevor-I like the pictures. We certainly missed you this Christmas! Can’t wait to see you on Spring Break (Nica Style). Keep the pictures and info coming. Love, Dad
I LOVE laguna de apoyo! One of my favorite places around there! Glad you guys got to spend some time relaxing. If you go back, please say hi to the people that run the place for me (it looks like you went to the same place). I can’t remember the guy’s name, but just tell him I came a couple times the month of June with my team and I hope they’re doing well. They seem kinda lonely, so love them every chance you get. Grace and peace to you guys!
Trevor,
Sounds like a great Christmas! I love the pictures! I went to see Benito & Patty last night, and they showed me picutres from your mission with them. It made me realize how much I miss all you guys! I’m praying for you!
