It has been an extremely long day but we safely arrived in El Salvador and have been staying busy since the moment we got here! There is a 2 hour time difference so we got in around 11:30 am El Salvador time. Since we've been up since 2:45am it has been a long and exhausting day, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Seeing all the familiar faces has filled me with so much joy I won't even try to express it in words. We even got to stop by Pollo Campero for lunch! For dinner we had beans (of course) and platanos and tortillas. I do have to say that the living conditions in the Promise House have improved! The room we´re staying in this year is twice the size as the one last year and I have yet to see a single cuca! I feel a little spoiled haha. Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that we made it and that I am SO happy to be back in this house with these girls and children that I love so much. Quick cool story...one of the girls living in the Promise House right now is a girl that I met in the detention center last year. She was pregnant last summer while in prison and now both her and her baby live in the PH. That made my whole day and will definitely be one of the best things of this trip, I´m sure!
Well, I am exhausted...Tomorrow we head off to CISNA at about 8am. I´ll try to update again soon!
What a way to start off our day. Blair told us you updated, and we ran down this morning to read it. We were exhausted too yesterday, but uncle Orrick finally made it home. Today aunt cheryl leaves, but a gramps and buddy will stay another week. So very happy you all are in the promise house. Is glenda there? I am so happy for all of you, how are Jo and Danny doing? I know you will be busy, but keep us posted when you can. LOVE YOU and PRAYING all of GOD'S best to you. Keep JESUS first! Love,
