Returning and Sharing

Saturday went smooth - Flight on time, luggage and team members all accounted for. Thanks to Pastor Arlena, Michele Romaniello, and Nate Frazier for the shuttle from the airport to church. We had so much to share but wanted to wait till Sunday morning when we shared with the entire congregation.

Sunday was terrific, we all enjoyed sharing, and dancing for all of you. It is hard to put into words how the week in El Salvador affects your life. God stretches you an ways you did not even know you can stretch. It is a wonderful week of discovering God's love for all.

Thanks to our team entire team you are all terrific. Thank you to Kingsway Church - we are so grateful for your prayers and support. I ask you to join us next year - Let God use you, it will change your life.

No swimming in the ocean allowed, but cliff diving is okay!

Friday - today is our free day.

After breakfast we loaded the bus for the ride to the beach. On our way, Nelson (our national from 08 & 09)

met our bus on the highway to say goodbye. Nelson has a big place on our hearts and we ask that you pray for him, He is no longer in the King's Castle program and is working and going to church, it is difficult time for him as there are many gangs in is neighborhood and his home has structural issues due to all the rain.

Arriving at the beach we instructed the team that they could not go into the ocean (last year we almost lost a team member, he had to be rescued by a life guard from the strong undertow.) There are wonderful hammocks there to rest in, it is sooooooo nice. Water slide, pool and a great ocean wave pool built on the side of the cliff that fills during high tide as the waves crash in. It did not take long before Neil was climbing the cliff and doing back flips into the pool, soon everyone had to follow although the only other skilled enough to flip was Bri. The whole time we all were like "Pastor Arlena is not going to like this". We had so much fun.

Returning to the camp we had our closing time were King's Castle and the staff, thank us for coming to El Salvador. This is a great time of laughs and tears. Tomorrow we go home, but look forward to what next year will bring.
