We made it to San Salvador, El Salvador late Thursday night after a great adventurous trip from Villarreal to Managua, Nicaragua in our car (more on that trip later...) and then by plane from Managua to San Salvador. We hired a taxi at the airport and our driver, Angel, took us to a great pupusa dive where we picked what we wanted, watched the ladies make the pupusa and grill it right there by the street. We ordered 10 pupusas and three drinks and got a bag full of chile and some spicy sauce, too for about $6.00! (FYI: the national currency in El Salvador is the US dollar!)
They were YUMMY!!!! The pupusa is apparently the national food. There were litterally about 20 pupusa restaurants in this little strip Angel took us to! El Salvadorians eat pupusas like Costa Ricans eat black beans and rice!
We got to our hotel, showered and went to bed. We were tired!
All day Friday we spent at the Potter's Field Kids ministry compound and orphanage site about an hour out of the city. It was awesome to see what God has done here through PFM. I am still forming my story for this day...but suffice it to say it was AMAZING!!
Today we were at Calvary Chapel San Salvador for the conference. The Lord really blessed us as there was another missionary family at the conference whose kids were sinmilar in age to ours and they all hit is off great- instant friends. So, our kids were entertained the entire time and both matt and I were able to listen to almost all of the teachings together. It was siuch a blessing!
We've met so many new friends and pastors. What god is doing through Calvary Chapels around Latin America is really an aawesome work.
Tomorrow, we are meeting up with some of our good friends from language school who are serving about three hours outside of the city. We are super duper excited to see them again- it has been two years...
I will write more as I am able, but it may be after we are back in Costa Rica...
We will fly back to Managua early Monday morning and then will travel on to Villarreal later that afternoon- please pray for our travel .
Just a glimpse into our lives following JESUS as He leads us to serve Him in the nations. Thanks for stopping by!
