A Long but Safe Travel Day

Hello from El Salvador!

After a llooooooonnnnnnnnngggggggggg travel day, we arrived at the King's Castle campground around 4pm (6pm EST). We are all very tired (some have been up for over 36 hours straight) but safe and sound. Our flights ran smoothly and all of our luggage arrived on the same plane that we did (always a bonus!)

Tomorrow will be a full day as we begin our ministry training. We will be learning dances, skits, and dramas that we will use to minister in neighborhoods all around the region where we are staying. Last year, our training was really a four hour long lesson in humility as we discovered just how little rhythm and coordination we had. BUT, we are up for whatever we are asked to do while here in El Salvador and we believe God will somehow use our efforts for His glory.

Sorry we don't have any pictures but the Internet connection is spotty at best. We have the ability to upload text but no photos. I promise to get pictures up as quickly as I can.

Thanks so much for all of your prayers. We sure can feel them! Keep them up. I should have a much more entertaining post tomorrow night after our training session (just picture me, George, Kim, & Rick all trying to dance).

Love to all of you! Blessings,
Pastor Arlena :)
