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.
