We're here!

After an full day of travel, we have arrived to El Salvador!

Main Highlights:
This morning, we met at 7:30am, and the Nepal Mission's team graciously drove us to the airport.
Everyone thought Scott Lundberg was joking when he said, "What should I do if I don't have my passport?" right when we got in the ticket line. This began a mad frenzy of taking apart his luggage, and making calls. Eventually, the rest of the team had to go on without him. As it turned out, it was back at home underneath his bed! God answered our prayers in having faithful brothers/sisters drive back to DIA, Scott's getting a elite pass to get thru security, and our flight being delayed by 35 mins...this had Scott arriving at the gate only minutes before we boarded. God is in control of the details.

Verse of the day:
Colossians 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

This verse tells me that a crucial part of our prayer life is keeping our eyes peeled for ways that God answers prayers throughout our days, and to thank Him for it.

Lord Jesus, thank You for your Sovereignty, and having Scott be a crucial part of this mission trip! Amen!

Flights were uneventful to Houston and to San Salvador. The first thing everyone noticed as we arrived was the intense humidity. Our van ride into the city included close quarters of sweaty arms and foggy windows.

Currently we are at our hotel, guarded by a man with a large shotgun. Sleep sounds very fitting right now, though it is not likely, as there is a dance party right outside our room, with Latin music at close to 100 decibels (no kidding!)

Our agenda tomorrow includes church and culture training!

Pray that God would give us unity of heart, and a spiritual focus as we kickstart this amazing opportunity to share Christ and his glorious gospel here!
