Learn about Heavenly Father’s children all over the world.
Nicaragua is a country in Central America. Almost 7 million people live there!

The official language is Spanish. Some people also speak native languages like Miskito, Sumo, and Rama.
Spreading the Gospel
The first missionaries went to Nicaragua in 1953. Now there are more than 100,000 Church members there! There is even a temple under construction.
Lake Nicaragua Sharks
Bull sharks can live in seawater and freshwater. This means they can live in oceans, rivers, and lakes! They swim from the Atlantic Ocean through a long river to live in Lake Nicaragua.
Palo de Mayo
People in Nicaragua hold a big festival called Palo de Mayo when the rainy season comes. They decorate a tree or pole with colorful ribbons to dance around and have fun all month long.
