Where is this year going? It's unbelievable that it's been 7 months since we rang in the new year! I guess the old saying that "time flies when you're having fun" is true.
Yesterday was a long day with quite a bit of time spent in the horrible traffic we have here in San Salvador. I made my way to Denny's yesterday morning to celebrate Kathia's birthday with several other women from our IDEM (small group.) If not for the accident that snarled traffic, I would have been early.
Just after noon we ventured out to pick up our truck at the dealership after it's 24,000 kilometer checkup. Jeff and Paula let us use their truck while ours was in the shop which makes it easy to pick ours up after they finish the work. The traffic is always crazy at noon, but at least my stop at the bank to pay rent (early because of the Costa Rica trip next week) didn't take as long as normal.
Tuesday is our regular small group night and our leaders, missionaries Ryan and Keeley Blackstock, were back from their summer furlough to share their ministry and update their supporting churches. Although we left a few minutes later than normal (due to the fact that we couldn't find Stephen's reading glasses,) it really didn't matter because it was one of "those" traffic nights. You know it's going to be bad when the cars on the ramp you need to use are sitting at a dead stop and are backed up to the highway you are on.. Even though we've lived here three years now, we still haven't mastered this crazy city, so we have limited options for avoiding bad traffic. We managed to bail out and go another way, but that route was crazy, too. We finally arrived at 7:45 after being on the "way" for over an hour. By the way, it's about 5 miles and without traffic takes less than 10-12 minutes.
Like I said, it was a long day with more traffic time than we like.
