We flew all night, arriving in Houston around 6:00 am, waiting there for a couple of hours. While there I met Eli and Verdi Glick, who have served in El Salvador for 47 years! They minister in Candelaria de la Frontera, in Santa Ana. They were gracious and informative.
Well, it was a 2-hour flight to San Salvador airport. The thick humid air hit us as we got off of the plane. Passing customs was not too bad, and we loaded into 2 mini-buses for the long ride to our motel.
We first ate at the church with pastor Pablo Park. Then we checked into our rooms, and headed out to Apopa. We ventured way off the main road, and then had to walk the rest of the way, about a quarter of a mile, to the open-air tabernacle. People seemingly came out from the foliage to attend a service.
We led in songs and worship, I spoke briefly from Revelation 3:20 with an interpreter of course. We then returned after dark and made our first of many stops at Pollo Campero - a fried chicken chain. It actually was pretty good, with white slaw and fries, no refills on your drink.
We had a debriefing at the motel conference room. Citing 2 Timothy 2:3,4, Pastor Lee said, "Why are you here? We are not here for our own pleasure. We're not here for vacation, we're not here for tour."
Some of my pictures cannot be viewed and some can - I do not know why. I will post when I can.
El Salvador Fun Fact - since 2001, the currency is the dollar.
