El Salvador day 4

Buenos Dias! The country of El Salvador is beautiful and the people are as well. Let me do a quick recap... Forgive typos - in a hurry. Tuesday was our travel day. We had a five hour layover that gave us lots of time for escalator rides and people watching. We met a few other missions teams there as well - goin to Ireland and England. We arrived in San Salvador at 6:30 pm (mountain time - they don't do daylight savings). We took about an hour and a half to get everyone through immigration and customs, and our team from King's Castle (Castillo del Rey) was waiting. We arrived at the camp about two hours later. It's fun to hear the reaction of the students when we're driving. Roads are small and our bus driver has no fear. Haha Wednesday was our training day. We learned all the guidelines - like the wipe and toss rule (bathroom), taste everything placed in front of you, and don't touch ANY of the animals. They have monkeys, horses, chickens, random dogs, and a big frog pond in the camp. Then we learned five different dances and four dramas - two funny, two evangelistic. We were sweating in a gym for about five hours. :) Thursday was our first street ministry day. We did two programs right on the street, one in a high school, and one in front of a community center (casa de la cultura). The kids were the most visibly responsive to the messages, but there were some teens that broke down and were very emotional after our ministry drama. Its so cool to work alongside the Masters Commission students from here. They lead our team. We left Kings Castle at 7:30 - did four programs in different areas - and returned at about 7:00 pm for supper, completely drenched from the heat and spiritually soaring from the experience. Today will be even better because now we know what to expect. Thank you so much for your prayer support! Dios de bendiga - God bless you!
