January Trip to Nicaragua Part 1

Dr. Perrotta and I just returned home from a wonderful trip to Nica.  Dr. McCann and his beautiful wife, Nina joined us for the 5 days.  It was very informative and we accomplished quite a bit.  Except for the 5.2 earthquake and Tsunami warning it was perfect as usual.

A few of the highlights...

Friday and Saturday we met with our Nica La Merced team.  Jerry Siero, Father Antonio, David, Ottoniel and Mercedes Arguello, Dr. Siu, Dr. Dorianela Castillo and their families.  Dates for our June mission were firmed up.  Our work week will be June 27th - July 1st.

Montelimar, on the Pacific Coast is absolutely beautiful.  It was a perfect setting for Father Antonio to renew our vows for our 25th anniversary.  We loved sharing it with our special friends.

Sunday we were invited to Dr. Sui's home.  His wife, Fatima made the most wonderful Paella.  We met a great couple from Michigan.  He is an Oral Surgeon and she helps run an orphanage in Managua.

We got such a kick out of the guard in front of Dr. Sui's house!


Monday we visited the Clinic and Physical Therapy Clinic.  Sister was extremely grateful for all of the supplies that were donated.  She is making arrangements for ENT clinic and plans for all to be complete by our June visit.

Little Jerry Antonio is the best little baby.  He looks just Jerry!
