Friday's Wonderful day

A wonderful Friday we had today .... oh man I can not believe it's already Friday ........ We had a wonderful visit with our brothers and sisters at the Rosario da la Paz. Their hospitality was amazing. They had decorated their church for our arrival. We conducted VBS, had a food distribution, gave out glasses and installed windows in their church. Productive day!! After that visit we went to view the beautiful Pacific Ocean and had one of the most meaningful devo's ever. Mike's message was straight from his heart right into ours .....

Went to the childrens hospital. It was a good day. We saw some tears turn to smiles with all the big ole teddie bears we gave to each child. The hospital was clean but primitive to our standards.

Escapees!!

Forgivness is easier than permission . . . sometimes. What a great veiw of San Salvador from the roof of the Holidy Inn. Shhhhhhhhhh, don't tell Mike.

2nd day in El Salvador

Mike teaching Jeff and David how to make balloon animals.

Wed AM

The meeting room here at the Holiday Inn where we had devo last night has a sign on the door to indicate that its the room we would be using. The sign reads "Waverly Reunion". I don't know who told them to call it that, but it is so fitting.

We've all been up and had a very wonderful breakfast. Today should be the most physically challenging day. We'll be fixing food bags first this morning, loading the bus and then off to visit one of the communitites!! I love El Salvador! At each community we will have a VBS, serve snacks, play with the children, have a lesson for the adults, and give out reading glasses. Its getting close to departure time - updates thes evening!!! Today we will be at San Martin, Lord willing.

Everyone made it safely to El Salvador!!!

No major trouble but everyone it very tired. The real work starts in the morning. It has already been a great trip just to get to see our loved ones in El Salvador! And yes, I have already seen tears!!!

Safe Arrival for the first four

The first round of four made it safely today. We had an uneventful flight into San Salvador, and as always as soon as we got into customs downstairs we saw the boys waving. We picked up a lot of the little things that are needed to make the VBS's possible. We are turning in early, and waking up tomorrow to tie up a few more loose ends before picking everyone else up at the airport. This was a great start to hopefully an amazing week. Please keep those traveling down tomorrow in your prayers, and keep checking in on us! Dios te Bendiga :)
