We may have communication problems the next two days...

Dear Families,

We will be leaving Granada for a more remote area on Friday and I do not know if the phones will work when we are there... 

Just letting you all know that communication could be patchy until Sunday night.

Hey guys -
Bryan and Cody I miss both of you a lot, I will add you in our prayer requests at camp and you're group. As soon as we are all back in Tucson it is Taco Time. I just want you two to know that I have had Tucson in my heart, and I believe it needs christ at the university and I want to find a way to do this. I have been thinking a lot on Romans 1:22 it reads "Professing to be wise, they made themselves fools." I hope while on your journey that daily you open your life to God and can let him be the one making the decisions and you only play into his will as he sees fit. When it gets hard look to others as they look to christ. He's kinda like God and is the one we should be following and looking to for power. Love you guys, be safe and will see you soon enough.

In christ and with love,
Kyle Liggitt

Welcome to Our Blog!


Note! I moved many of the pictures to the bottom of the page, under the blog posts!

If you are here to follow Bryan's adventure (after this trip) go to bryanthomasbaker.blogspot.com


The first two weeks of our trip will be spent at the New Hope Children's Foundation in El Crucero, Nicaragua! Here we will blessed to serve at this Christian orphanage and school!
For an idea of what New Hope is all about, please visit this website: http://www.newhopechildrensfoundation.org/

Then we will proceed to the colonial city of Granada, Nicaragua where we will take an intensive spanish program and stay with Nicaraguan families! We will also spend much time in and near Cocibolca (Lake Nicaragua) as well as on the dormant Volcan Mombacho, which towers over the city!

After a week in Granada we will head to Costa Rica, where we will also take intensive spanish courses... and spend much downtime on the BEACH! 

After this fun-filled week some of us will return to the USA, and others will return to New Hope for two more weeks of service...

Then Bryan will be joined by others as he flies down to Lima, Peru... to eventually complete a 7 day trek through the Andes to Machu Picchu!

It will be the summer of a lifetime! Be sure to keep track of our adventures right here!
