Well, we made it, and it has already been a crazy trip. Jeremy lost his passport during our layover in Atlanta and we were forced to leave without him. We made it to El Salvador at roughly noon, and had a lunch at a native restaurant. We ate with three teenagers who are serving as some of the interpreters. They have studied English since kindergarten and speak incredibly well. After lunch we headed to the host church where we were greeted with a huge warm welcome. We arrived with 50 medical students and 6 teachers. The church here wanted us to have a grand entrance. In groups of 4 we rode into the church in a buggy pulled by a donkey. About 70 church members there with cameras, balloons, and smiles to greet us. You would’ve thought we were celebrities! They held a worship service for us in which they sang some worship songs in Spanish and some in English. They prayed for us, we shared abit about the upcoming week of disciple-making traing (Herb had them rolling in laughter) and we were on our way. Tonight we’re settling in for dinner and a good night’s rest. Herb, Kennon, Steve and Danny preach at churches across the town of Santa Ana starting tomorrow morning. It’s apparent that the people are hungry to grow and connect with God. Pray that we will help them do just that.
