Off to a fast start

Our first campaign of the year started on Saturday night and continues through Friday night. We will have 7 consecutive evenings of inflatables, movies, dramas and gospel presentations. The mornings during the week vary with 3 days of one-on-one sharing in downtown parks and 2 days of Kids Clubs--one in Nejapa and one in San Salvador.

School at New Life started on Tuesday so I have not been able to go with the team in the mornings. It was great to see the kids again--we've been doing a mini-lesson on snow for the last two days. Very few of the kids have seen "real" snow so the idea of building a snow fort, having a snowball fight, making snow angels or sledding down a big hill and then being so cold you need to go inside is pretty foreign to them. They all really like hot chocolate so the idea of warming up with a big mug of it (with lots of marshmallows, of course) sounded really good to them.

On our way home

We left Daniel's house at 3:45 a.m. this morning to make our 6:00 a.m. flight to DFW. We landed in Dallas about 11:30 a.m., after losing two hours from Pacific to Central time. We are about half way through our 4 hour layover here in Dallas. We've spent most of the time on Spanish lessons--we're not that good anyway, and 24 days away makes it hard to get back in the swing.

A team of 30 people from three different churches arrives tomorrow so we will be back in full "campaign" mode by Saturday night. School starts on Monday so I'll be working hard on lesson planning this weekend, as well.

Please pray for us in 2012--we want to be faithful servants who give all the glory to God.
