We had another great day! Julie treated about 30 prisoners who had medical issues. Lori taught two women prisoners. Jeremy preached to the men. 17 prisoners signed up for correspondence courses! And they agreed to weekly Bible study. This afternoon several went visiting in homes on La Antigua. At the 3rd home they went to, Modesto committed his life to Christ and was brought to the hotel pool for baptism. Barbe had two ESL classes (English as a second language). The first was great, with only 4 students. The second with almost 20 she described as stupendous! Tonight we had worship in the La Antigua community center with 65 adults and 36 children attending. Sherry and others taught the final story of Moses. We are tired. Kyle is not feeling well. We are all happy to be here and looking forward to another great day tomorrow!

Erin translating for Nurse Practitioner Julie in the prison. Jeremy preached to the men and Lori conducted a Bible study with the women while the sickest were being seen by Julie. 17 signed up for a Bible correspondence course.

These ladies copied every scripture mentioned in a sermon lasting over an hour! They borrowed paper when theirs got full. That is 'wanting to learn'!

Jeremy preaching tonight. Two ladies asked for prayers that they can be better Christians. We had a terrific day! The morning was the sponsored children's program. What a privilege to be able to help these unfortunate kids! They are awesome and really appreciate the help they get. At lunch we were treated with Kenny Rogers music while we ate good food and had fellowship with the Rodriguez family and Marcos. After lunch they treated me to a birthday cake! Then Marcos and Jorge shared their vision/view/plan for the church to grow in this region. Tonight we had worship with the whole congregation -probably 100 adults and over 40 kids. Then we had singing and a devotional for our group. We are all well and healthy and happy.

We had a great trip overall, although there were some difficulties. After boarding the entire plane at Houston, we had to get off because someone had forgotten to service the toilets! We arrived at San Sal about an hour late, but had good time getting through immigration and customs. Had pupusas and came on to La Palma, picked up the Lalli's and then to Ocotepeque. We are in our hotel, had dinner and are going to bed. Tomorrow will be a full day.

Lori, Monte, Ruth, and Nathan have landed in San Salvador. They will spend Thurs, Fri, and Saturday in La Palma, joining us Saturday evening in Ocotepeque. What a team we have! A terrific variety of age and talents in one group. This is going to be awesome. We covet your prayers for our safety, security, and success.

Getting close to show time!

We are getting excited as a team to get going. It is now 9 days before we leave. Classes and sermons are being prepared and lessons are planned. Bags are being packed.
