In El Salvador

Hola from El Salvador!!!

I'm going to try and blog every couple of days when I am here in El Salvador. It will all depend on the time that I have and how tired I am each night as to how much I will blog. I'll be blogging about what's going on here and what God is teaching me.

So I got here yesterday in the afternoon and I arrived into a tropical storm that El Salvador was under! This is crazy rain when it rains like it has and the rain affects so much down here, like how snow affects so much in Iowa. My flight was good I was just really tired from having to get up so early to get to the airport. Sarah, Christina and Gabriel picked me up at the airport. Then Christina and I got dropped off at Victor's house were I will be staying for the next three weeks! Then after I got my stuff ready we went to the meeting of La Red which is the college ministry of Iglesia Gran Comision San Salvador. It was really cool to meet a group of the college students and I also met Kumar who is the other missionary here. Sarah gave her Testimony and Jorge gave a really good message. Then we all went out pizza hut and it was sweet.

Today, I got to sleep in a bit. Then I had cereal with milk (Sarah, this is a big shocker! haha) Then we went to church, which was really sweet cause when we came in March we didn't get to go to the church here, so I was really excited to experience it. It was really good and Victor gave a good message! Then Victor and his family, Christina, Kumar and I went to the mall for lunch. Then later Kumar, Christina and I sat down with Victor and talked about out the plans for the time that I am here. So that was sweet! Then we went back to the house and Victor Raul and I played Wii together for at least a couple of hours...haha. Then Victor Raul, Silvita and played some more games, but then I had to to go cause Christina and I were going with Luis and Lelys to see Iron Man 2 which was good but honestly I was kinda lost because I haven't seen the first one. Then we had Pupusas!!! I love pupusas :)


I'm SO excited as to what God will to during my time here in El Salvador...I believe that He is going to do some amazing things!! To Him be all the glory!!!

I do have some prayer requests for you all to me praying for(these are in no particular order):
1. Just your continued prayers for this trip overall and for God to be glorifed in all that I am doing down here.
2. For my Spanish...I can understand a lot but I still have to work on my speaking.
3. The the Lord continues to break my heart for the things that break his


I'm having an awesome time here! I love the Turcios family!! Silvia,Victor,Silvita and Victor Raul are so awesome! I'm SO blessed that they have opened up their home to me!!!

Its off to bed for me cause I'm SO exhausted....still attempting to catch up on sleep from Friday. Anyways until next time

Adios amigos!!
