We feel very safe in our community, which always has one guard stationed by the front gate. Our neighborhood has never had a robbery, which is very unusual here, and something we are so thankful for. Many missionaries and Nicaraguans that we've met have had multiple incidents of petty theft or robbery while living in Managua, and because of this almost all larger homes and communities employ a guard. Pictured here is the wonderful Manuel Antonio Herrera, with Charlotte "Spidergirl" Ippel and Quentin "Superman" Norman. Our two guards rotate 24-hour shifts; not a very fun job, and I'm sure the pay isn't much. We're EXTREMELY thankful to have friendly men to welcome us home each time we drive up to the "La Veranera" community! Charlotte loves saying "hola" to the guards multiple times each day:)!
