1x hammer 1x saw and a lick of paint
We needed a kitchen table but did not want to buy one, so used a derelict one in the garden and it's perfect for the job after a bit of tender loving care.

Use your imagination
If you are a truck driver and offload cargo in the center of town, where/how do you rest???!
Use your imagination ... Just make a bed under the lorry where you can sleep (until a silly Swedish foreigner comes up and takes an iPhone photo of you).
This morning
A banana leaf in our new garden.
Shadow of me in the ministry under the boiling sun.
Found this amazing bird in a garden while preaching. It was not scared at all and I managed to get my iPhone close enough to shoot this photo.
3x Mexicans and 1 x Nicaraguan.
Part of the preaching crowd today.

Afternoon with the Mexicans
iPhone photos whilst spending the Sunday afternoon with the Mexicans ... Not anything special; simply having a good time on a Sunday after our meeting.

They seem to be into baseball
They seem to be heavily into baseball in Nicaragua, the congregation was up for a game just before sunset.
Some of today's nutrition
A MASSIVE fruit, it's called Corosol in French.
My wife loves it but I think it was disgusting when I tasted it.
The flesh looks like an over cooked chicken and the taste was way to sour for my taste.
Preparing the red beans before eating.
My wife said they are much smaller here than in Europe so I guess they export the best and keep the rubbish :(
Circuit overseer visit this week
This is the Circuit Overseer taking the group this morning... very strong accent, sometimes we can not make out all what he says.
Even our visiting Mexicans who do speak spanish natively also got a problem understanding some Nicaraguans due to their accents.
To further complicate; some words they use cannot be found in dictionaries either since it's only used in Nicaragua and nowhere else !!!
It is all compensate by the spirit of the place though which is exceptionally great.
Out in service.
If you think YOU got a hard job then spare a thought for these guys.
Blasting hot and still doing manual labour digging for water and electric infrastructure in the countryside.

This is a bit of a challenge
I have my first public Bible reading in Spanish ... next week already!!!
OK admittedly we try to read the Bible in Spanish ... but it's not easy at all.
We often have to double check in the English version what is actually written...
Hope it will not take too long before we can do it all in Spanish ;)

Camera... what camera???
Some of you asked what camera/lens I use for my photos.
1. I did not actually bring my camera with me, all my photos are taken with my iPhone only.
2. Are my photos staged? No most are "sneaky photos" so many people are not aware I am shooting them ;)
Enjoying ourselves
After our pioneer meeting, iPhone shots as we enjoy ourselves and having a fun/good time.
In the field service today
An interested person in our village.
Another interested person.
Part of "The team" that was out today.
BTW Mily does not love me anylonger, she has now fallen in love with the young boy at the far left in the photo below instead. He is 9 and he loves us so much, he always wants to sit next to us at the meeting. He is a publisher and very eager, last week he even wanted to take the group for field service.
Mily wants to adopt him & bring him over to Europe when we go back.

Today's ministry
Out in the countryside today .... Hot hot hot again...
They use a lot of dirt bikes in this country, for obvious reasons
Hey Kiitch bro, your country men are assisting this part of the territory with a water well
The great crowd in front of a tree older than all of us put together.
Having a break in the heat
Resting at a sisters house in the territory.
Back home with swollen feet
