Well, I just read online that the transportation strike ended this weekend as our guys were on their way home. God was so faithful to work in spite of this obstacle and we give him the glory for what He did a the bible institute this week.
Here is a little info about the resolution of the strike from www.ticotimes.net:
A nationwide transportation strike that had shut down Nicaragua for 12 days came to an end Saturday morning following an announcement by President Daniel Ortega that the government would offer a $1.30 subsidy for every gallon of diesel fuel sold to taxis and buses.
With the new subsidy, which is being applied at 60 participating Petronic and Shell gas stations across the country, Nicaragua went from having the most expensive diesel in Central America to having the cheapest, now at $3.15 for taxi and bus drivers. Some 75 percent of Nicaragua's transportation sector uses diesel fuel.
