More visitors

here's a few picks of a few new people who have been to visit.

Lukas and Barbara Minder are new Latin Link missionaries based in Nicaragua. It was great that they could stay with me a couple of days after the conference.

We walked up to Senderos de Alux (with Cat - a strider who's based in Honduras)- and saw this view over Guatemala City.

This weekend, I've welcomed Andi Rychen to Guatemala. He's a strider from Switzerland and will be working in Guatemala city.

Strange fruit for strange striders

Latin Link Central America Team Conference

I've just come back from our Central America team conference, which has been really good. It was great to see friends that I've made on my travels as well as a few more that I'd not met before. It's been an interesting time, working with 5 nationalities and 3 languages - but lots of fun!

A couple of visitors from the Britain & Ireland, and the Swiss team came bearing gifts from afar! Hooray!
It was also great to catch up with a few Striders that I'd send to neighbouring countries - and for them to meet the new arrivals. They kept themselves busy with cultural studies (bilingual scattergories!)We had an afternoon trip out to a local Macadamia nut farm - and some lost a few years with the complimentary facial using macadamia nut oil.

We also did a lot of talking about structuring the team, which has had a bit of a growth spurt this last year, and it's resulted in me being part of a small leadership team for the team. (!)
