El Salvador Mission – June 21-30, 2010

Began the day with a surf session at El Sunzal, and the waves have improved in size and shape. The half-mile paddle is long, but the uncrowded lineup is well worth it, especially way outside where the largest waves break. Jed was our videographer, and there may soon be some video on YouTube or Facebook.

At Salvador's, we had a breakfast of hash browns, scrambled eggs, a hot dog, and a roll with honey. Muy delicioso! The coffee is reported to be strong and excellent, but with my heart, not an option. :-(

Then off to Remar orphanage. Ok, so I want to bring home a dozen or so of the children....but we are going back tomorrow, and will play more games, futbol, take pictures, hold them and carry them around on our shoulders. In addition to the normal population of orphans and foster children, there are 90 families there displaced by the recent flooding here. We provided food, clothing, and toys.

When we returned to the compound from Remar, we had a late lunch made in a burger place in La Libertad, including papas fritas! Several of the men/boys lapsed into siesta/comas after the meal. I took a shower in my clothes to get them presentable again.

Dinner will be served later, and then we'll have another devotional led by Jed Smith. My wristband today says, "One...John 17:21, Matthew 18:19, and then Two or Three". More mystery....can't wait!
