"Everybody can be GREAT because anybody can SERVE. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a HEART full of GRACE, and a SOUL generated by LOVE."

Ryan came back and this time with his Mama!!!!

So, last Monday was a glorious day!!! Ryan, my boyfriend, came back to visit and this time his mom, Debbie, came too! I did not go to work that day because their flight came in mid-day and I met them at the airport. I took a taxi all the way across town to the airport…for the first time it took more than 5 minutes for a taxi to drive by…it took 25 minutes and I was worried I would be late to the airport. However, I arrived at the airport with 45 minutes to spare…phew!

My heart was racing again and I was so excited to see Ryan and share Nicaragua with his mom. Debbie is a nurse too. It was sure to be a special trip for us to share our nursing skills with the Nicaraguans together.  We went from the airport to their hotel in the hotel taxi. Looking out the window from taxis is always interesting…everyone always sees things differently. First impressions made from the taxi window.  Then we had a little lunch at the hotel and got settled in their room.

We went to the Quinta and visited with the missionary group from Indiana who would be leaving the next morning. We ate dinner with them and did devotionals with them. The group had become special to me since I had spent time with them and they were my age. Also, Debbie and Ryan got to meet Ginny and Cecil. Then very tired Debbie and Ryan went back to the hotel for the night and I went to my host family house. They are here in Nica safely and I am so blessed to have them in my life!

Love,
Ayla Landry
