We're Here!!!

We arrived two days ago...on the eve of the 26th to a warm welcome from the National staff and their children. Thankfully we had no flight, luggage, or customs problems! Us girls (6) are still trying get comfortable in our home, but it's not too hard - a four bedroom hacienda in a beautiful gated community with a great view of the city. I promise we're actually doing work!! The boys (4) have a two story townhome with a live-in maid. "Abuelita Julia." She cooks, cleans...we're trying to keep our jealousy to a minimum knowing the boys need her more than we do!

Last night Layo and Luchi - the national directors for the Central American Region as well as El Salvador - invited us to their home for a welcoming party. They have 3 sons. Manuel (a crack-up and our chauffeur) and Ceci are also on staff and have 2 sons as well - Andres (9) and Giovanni (19). Selegna is on staff as well. She's 29 and from Panama, but has only been in the country for 2 months! The people here are amazing. They are so kind, generous, and hospitable and are simply going out of their way to make us feel comfortable and to give us everything we need for ministry.

I've been so touched by their hearts to see the students of El Salvador come to a relationship with Jesus Christo...we are all so excited to see what the Lord does this year!!

E-Mails!!!

Hi Everyone!!

So - here's the lowdown: I'll be using this Blog to write more regular updates and stories, post pictures and videos, etc.

But, I'll also be sending out a monthly - or so - newsletter with general updates and prayer requests! And it would be a GREAT help if I could send out most of those electronically. I have a few e-mails already, but if I didn't ask for yours, or you're pretty sure I don't have it, could you post it here so I can add you to my list? This simply means you'll be receiving my newsletter via e-mail and saving me a stamp! THANKS SO MUCH!!!
