After arriving safely here in El Salvador, the team has settled in well and been able to get our bearings. We joined in on Cecilia's children's and youth ministry on Saturday and got a good look at the amazing kids she's working with. It was fun to introduce ourselves, play some soccer and teach them the Tim Tam Slam.
Yesterday we had the opportunity to participate in a Spanish church service, eat some great new food and experience some beautiful landscape and culture. We are thankful to all be healthy and not melting too much in the heat!
Today marked day one of construction and we saw a whole community join us in building a house for Francesca and her family. Up until now, they had been surviving in a dilapidated little place and in preparation for our construction, have had to sleep outside on the land with no shelter for a few days. The team really rallied together with enthusiasm and energy to build a stable foundation for this family, plus we learned a few new Spanish construction words!
We feel so privileged to share and to serve in this way - giving to others what the Lord has blessed us with. Thank you for your prayers and we look forward to sharing more (including pictures) with you tomorrow or the next day!
