It was a 3-4 hour ride to La Union. Our first stop was at a school, with an open-air covered meeting area, with probably 250 students. It was hot but not unbearable. Lunch was at Pollo Campero, again.
Then we drove to another school nearby. Along with our skits we also made animal balloons at this school. It was very hot by then. We stayed hydrated with bottled water.
Finally we drove to another community close by, an open area surrounded by homes, like in a square. We used the 2 buses to provide shade from the setting sun. At each location one of our team members gave a testimony and a gospel message.
We left before dark, and on the way "home" stopped at a shopping center. Our group danced a body worship number outside in the open area. That was cool. Then we ate at a Pizza Hut (yes they had that there). We rode the long ride home, until 11:00, in bed by midnight.
By the way, at least 10 members from the El Salvador church were with us all week as well. We had about 40 on the total team. Some of the local missionaries spoke English, Korean and Spanish! What a blessing to have them with us.
El Salvador Fun Fact - the mile markers on the roads actually look like little tombstones, with the numbers painted on them.
