One of the most positive things about the Ilopango prison is that they have 4 vocational training programs for the prisoners. Here is part of the sewing laboratory/classroom. It appears to be well equipped and their projects appear to be preparing them for future jobs.

Sisters!Cara and Kenna both left families to help others. They live on different continents but are both very dedicated to the growth of the Kingdom. They have different talents but both use them freely to teach. They are a great asset to the mission field! Here they are waiting for the warden to let us go into the prison.

One of the quality events of a mission trip is the last night review of what we did, what we learned, what we like and didn't, what we should do again and what we should not do again. We are relaxed and reflective and honest as we critique our week.

Connie, with Cara translating, teaches a Bible lesson to the ladies at Ilopango women's prison in El Salvador. There are about 100 women there who either have children with them or are pregnant.

Ken, with Francisco translating, teaches the men's class at San Ignacio. It was about how to be men in the church, and it was interactive. They had not had that type of teaching before and it was well received.

Students at Pie de la Cuestas proudly hold up the Bibles they were given after Cara taught them about God and discipline and choices.

Alejandra cannot see nor do the things most children can. Carol and Lori and Ruth love her and hold her when possible. Her mother and brother are terrific to care for her. She is taken care of as the special person she is.
