A Corny Island Guest Post

So we , Justin(Jason) and I, Chuy(Jesus,JJ, Jose),
after traveling in Nica for a week
were super excited to go to see the girls and Jeremy in Corn Island .
Here is where the Odyssey begins...





Plane to Corn Island

The Reef on Corn Island


Landing on Corn Island

Oh Chrissy ....

What's the FIRST thing you do when you get to Corn?
Unpack and Go to the Beach


Jeremy's House. You can hear and see the ocean
from the porch

Ready to hit the beach

Long Bay beach





Looking for coconuts




Sea Urchin


National Flower


After swiming, going to get a Boli and hit the beach again...










Professional Synchronized Swimming
the next 3 images are supposed to be animated but
I cant get them to work. so if you know how let me know

Jumping off the Dock


Anyone else see a ghost in the pix?










Sitting around inside the KH after the beach


Getting ready for service

Chrissy is all set with her fan

Meeting for Field Service

Corn Island Territory




OK...so my first door I have this little boy trying to get my attention as i'm doing my presentation for me to see his pet. It was such a cute monkey i had to take a picture of the boy with it. But THEN... Chrissy just HAD to go back to my call and see the monkey herself.
Sorry Chrissy. I heart you.




off to a great long day preaching





Another Boli break...





I forgot what these things are called but they are sour


Getting Done with preaching. Perfect spot to enjoy and rest a little

Chrissy looking for books at the "literature counter" so we can go
for a study

Enjoying Honey Buns before study

Getting distracted by her study's dog...Sorry Chrissy... again

Studying for meeting at the beach...

Doing a little laundry before meeting


Triple Treat...
We all got to help Issac with the meeting
He has conducted and done all meeting parts
for the last 4 years!!!! He gets to enjoy a little break and sit
with Laura.

Taking inventory of lit. English, Miskito, Spanish....and one bible in Italian?!?



Breakfast at Jeremy's house - Pancakes, eggs and coffee

Hitting the beach after breakfast




Local sister cooked one mean meal for all of us...Curry with fresh coconut milk and bunuelo

i have recently been doing some extensive research and i have found some very interesting facts about nicaragua. i have read about the fact that it is the only place in the world that you can find a little thing i like to call "freshwater sharks" that paticularly prey on the weak, small or mexican, but i dont know, that sounded like an odd combo to me? anybody? i also saw somewhere, i dont really remember of the top of my head, that their second largest source of food was sea urchins and that wherever you find a sea urchin a fws is sure to follow...good thing you guys didnt find any of those where you were swimming!
