Memories: I remember being scared to death in Managua one time when a military jeep drove past and then started shooting as it reached a nearby crowd of people that were rioting.  Luckily, they were only shooting into the air.  We had to dust ourselves off after hitting the dirt. More importantly I remember the changes in the lives of the people we taught and the tears of joy as they were baptized!
