Wednesday Candelaria

We worked around Leon at the office in the morning and then Larry drove Oscar, Scarleth, and I out for baseball practice.

Leo had a good number of kids there especially the age 5-10 team. They had a good practice for about 2 hours. Scarleth shared a couple Bible stories with them before they started practice and then she met with goat ladies near the end of practice.

Larry visited with some of the kids, sharing balloons and hugs. Alfredo, Ariel, and I rearraged things in the bodega. After adding a lot of beans and 5 gallon buckets of oil, it had become too crowded to walk through again. We sorted some of the black trunks with dental supplies, clothes, and toys/games and stacked them better. I also spent some time biking around to visit some of the young kids at home after morning school.

10 days now of traffic strike and 2 men have been reported dead. Leon seems to be safe, but we are taking precautions and only traveling in the day where we know there are not any road blocks. Reports say things will get worse before better and there is more violence to come, mostly in the capital, Managua.
