It's Official!

Nica 47 officially swore in yesterday, July 25th, 2008! The event was complete with the US Ambassador to Nicaragua, the director of MINED, lots of press, our host families, and the amazing staff here at Nicaragua post who have helped us get here and through the training process. Here are some photos from the event:
