El Salvador Mission Trip - Part 7 - Thursday July 18

Today was Green shirt day, our last full day of ministry.  Up at 6:00, breakfast at 7:00 after a devotion time together in the meeting room.  We left at 7:30 for Santa Ana, about an hour or so away.

Our morning session was at a nice school.  After songs, skits, testimony and gospel word, the children returned to their rooms and our team broke up and went to each room to help them make a craft.  Some of us stayed back and made balloon animals.

Time ran out, and we left for lunch.  I hate to say where again.  If you have read these words, you know where we ate lunch.  Fill in the blanks - P___________   C_________________.
Then we went to the city park, an open area with a lot of people, many evidently in need.  Our group met in the center of the park at a gazebo and we did our ministry.

Immediately at the end of our work, a high school parade passed by. very loud.  Thankfully we were able to do our songs and skits first.  Pastor Jesus and I walked the square, finding people to talk to and pray with.

Then we went to a church nearby for an evening service.  It was a small congregation but they were a very nice and loving group of people. 

Another heavy rain preceded us on our way back to the hotel. 
there are many other details, small or not so small, that I am not mentioning in this diary.  I am merely attempting to capture a few of the highlights.
