Our time in El Salvador is still going well...Unfortunately, we are not able to get any pictures up online right now due to technical difficulties.
Here are a few things we have been doing recently!
On Sunday night, we put on an encouragement meal for La Red, which is the college and young adults ministry here in San Salvador. Nick Powers led a crew for cooking stuffed peppers for a group of 25. We enjoyed time eating, chatting, and praying for La Red. Most memorable for the night was when we introduced the group to Kamikaze Sundaes. They had a riot getting into it, as we dropped ingredients for Sundaes into their mouths from 10 feet above on a balcony! It was a lot of fun!
On Monday, we took a drive a couple hours away, and got to climb a volcano called Izalco. The climate was much coolers, and foggy, as we arrived high up in elevation. Our climb began with a descent thru a rainforest to the bottom of a valley. There the scenery changed from The Shire to the Gates of Mordor, as the volcano itself was desolate from an eruption some 7 years before. The hike was challenging for most all! We were thrilled getting to touch steam vents, climb around the craters, and see the broad landscape.
Today, we started work on a church office building here. The goal is to make a new room where their band can practice. We moved furniture and belongings, swept up dust, and disassembled shelving today. Tomorrow looks like we are going to get to paint, and then go to the University to share the gospel.
Time is an interesting thing down here. There is less of a rush to get things done. All of us feel a pull to want to be moving to the next activity, when often we are having to adjust to the cultural difference of moving at a slower pace. It is different but good.
Please pray that God would give us as a team grace to:
- Work and serve joyfully tomorrow at the church
- To make the most of remaining gospel opportunities here.
- That the church would be refreshed and encouraged from our visit here!
