We have all arrived back at our houses. After Thursday night, we all have a better concept of the fact that we are not home here; we are just pilgrims, camping on this earth temporarily and waiting for our eternal home in Heaven.
Friday was a travel day. We toured the La Palma church and Christian school compound, then went to Ilopongo and visited the womens' prison there. We took toys, plastic cups, bowls, and plates, and baby clothing to the section fo the prison where pregnant women and those with children ages 0-4 are held. They are extremely crowded and provided almost nothing.
Ruth Erin led the women in some songs, the local minister talked to them, and Marcos prayed with them. Then our group distributed the toys. Tomas, the local minister agreed to come back weekly and continue studying with them. He will bring ladies from his congregation to distribute the clothing and plastic ware we left.
We then went to the beach for a brief visit, then to a nice hotel near the airport.
This morning we left the hotel at 5 and returned to the US and our various cities. It was a great trip!
Watch here for many photos of what we did and where we went.
