Monday - We arrived at La Bendicion!

After a two hour drive on mountain roads, we arrived at La Bendicion!

This village has been established for 50 families (quite a bit smaller than Tierra Nueva, the first village that New Community Church helped to establish in Nicaragua at 175 families).


The land is beautiful with lots of trees. Its very tropical with the temperature well in the 90s.

We held our morning welcome ceremony in the building at the bottom of the hill.

These are some of the homes in the village.  The vegetation here is huge.
Everything grows so big with all the rain and the sun this climate gets.

The village has a two room school for grades pre-school through 6th grade.  Our afternoon 
activities took place in the school house.  It was nice to be in the shade!

Roosters, chickens, and other animals run wild in the village.  This rooster kept crowing as we ate lunch. Animals are not pets here, we were encouraged not to pet them as we would back home.

Gorgeous flowers are everywhere - what a beautiful village.
