Satisfied Wages for Nicaragua

I think this is my first blog about baptisms! There have been a good amount of baptisms happening around us since we arrived to Nicaragua, I've just never written about the event.

They have not been able to test it to full scale in the United States because latrines, are not used anymore in the USA, except for a few campgrounds. They asked if we would be interested in helping them test and study the product here in Nicaragua.
