My blogging has been sporadic and tardy for the last couple of months. I just finished blogging about the most recent campaign which ended on May 21. There was, however, another important event that took place on May 21. It was the day that Hayden arrived.
Hayden is from Faith Baptist in North Carolina and is here (at least) for the summer. He is interviewing for a teaching job in three of the English-speaking private schools here in San Salvador. In the meantime, he's going to be helping with the youth at Vida Nueva and with all of the summer campaigns. He's stayiing with a family from the church so he can work on his Spanish.
Please pray that God will reveal his plan for Hayden, and that he will receive a job offer to teach during the 2016-17 school year.
We were blessed to have Hayden Bridges come to see us on Saturday. We met him on our last trip to Nicaragua (in March.) He was the youngest of the three "dog-bite" guys.
We saw him again at the campaign in Costa Rica in August. He really has a heart for Central America. It was while in Costa Rica that he talked to us about the possibility of visiting El Salvador and, perhaps, seeing if he could find a teaching job here. We encourage him to come for a visit so he used his fall break to fly down.
Stephen picked him up at the airport just after lunch on Saturday, which was a very busy day for us. I was gone all day to a women's ministry event and Stephen had to take the inflatable to an event in Lourdes in the afternoon.
When we were in Costa Rica, he got to know all our translators from El Salvador. So, we made arrangements with Wilbert and Rodrigo to pick him up and take him to the youth service on Saturday night. They even took him out for dinner afterwards. Stephen and I were both home by the time they dropped him off.
More about the rest of his visit tomorrow!
