Every trip is an adventure. Jeff and Paula picked us up at 4:10 a.m. yesterday; we met everyone at church, loaded up the bus and the van and left San Salvador about 5:15 a.m. As we arrived at the El Salvador border (at 9:15) Jeff said, "I'd guess that it will take us at least an hour here." Well, he couldn't have been more wrong this time. The line stretched all the way around the building; and we were in it for 2 1/2 hours! It was after noon when we pulled away. A short drive across the bridge to stop at the northern Honduras border--about 1/2 an hour there.
A three hour or so drive through Honduras took us to the south border by 3:30. Thankfully, it is easier to leave a country so it was a short stop. Another short drive to the Nicaragua side where there was another line, It was almost 5:00 p.m. when we were finally able to start the last (5 hours) leg of the trip.
We pulled into the hotel about 9:15 p.m. just glad to get out of the vehicle. Stephen's ankle was swollen, but not hurting. There were no regular rooms available on the ground floor, but after Jeff told them about his ankle, they provided a "junior suite" on the ground floor for last night (same price.) A regular room is opening up for Sunday and the rest of the week.
Please pray for the team the week--we will be conducting Kids Clubs during the day and holding evangelistic campaigns in the evening.
