Today was full of a lot of going and coming. The task being to register the shotgun we now have here at the mission house. If you were wondering how long it takes to register a gun in Nicaragua the answer is roughly five and a half hours!
We began the day thinking it would be a quick trip to the police station and in about an hour we would have the gun fully registered. But we were definitely wrong. We first went to the local police station to turn in our forms Jay had already received and filled out. But after a few hours there we found out that the head police station made a typo on the serial number and therefore we could not register it at that time. We then travel to the head police station. Might I add this is the national police we are dealing with so similar to going into an FBI or CIA building except Nicaraguan.
After waiting until 2:00 at the head station Jay was allowed to go back to meet with the officer about the document. Grayson and I had to stay because shorts and flip flops are not allowed in that area. Not sure why, I didn't ask either. But after an hour there we then headed back to the local station turned in our paper and waited roughly an hour again to receive our receipt and then we were finally on our way! Task done just at a slower more Nicaraguan pace.
But we have called it a night and I am now just sitting on the back porch watching the storm roll in over Lake Managua and the volcanoes. Have a good night y'all!
