El Salvador 2011 Day 1
|
2011 July 31 We arrived safely in El Salvador and we are all excited to begin ministering to these orphans. We left Brenham at 5:00am this morning because our flight left at 9:15a. While we were checking in one of our team members realized he had his wife’s passport – fortunately he was one of the team members that lives in Houston. He called his wife to bring his passport. The line was so long to go through security that by the time we all got through he had caught up with us. After that the trip was uneventful! When we arrived here our bus driver was here to greet us. The owner of the bus had parked the bus to wait – and he got off the bus. His phone decided it didn’t want to have service so he didn’t receive the calls saying we were ready. After waiting a little bit we were on the road. After we checked into the hotel we ate lunch/supper and then went to the store we usually shop at called Hiper Piaz – we were very surprised to find that it is now a Wal-Mart! We purchased most of the supplies that we will need for the week. We then came back to the hotel and had our nightly meeting and then we all headed to our rooms.
We will be visiting our first orphanage tomorrow and things have changed since last year. We called the orphanage to confirm that we would be there tomorrow (which we do before we visit any orphanage) and we were told that they had another group coming tomorrow afternoon and we could only stay from 9:00 – 12:00pm. We are hoping that will change tomorrow after we arrive. We have found that many of the orphanages here have had leadership changes since last year. The old people know us and love to have us come. Please pray that all of the orphanages will be welcoming to our team and that we would be allowed to share the bible lessons with them and that Christ’s love would be evident in us and that He would be honored!
