Low-Key 4th of July



The worship ministry held its first retreat this past Friday and Saturday.  It took a little bit of convincing, but Stephen finally decided to go.  Thirty-one team members (from all of our campuses) boarded the trusty, yellow church bus on Friday evening about 5:30 p.m.  They spent the night in a small hotel in Ataco called, Jardine de Celeste.  Pastor Julio provided the teaching and lead the discussions.   

I had a very low-key 4th of July at home by myself.  My biggest accomplishment was rearranging the furniture in our living/dining room.  I also had time to work on the plans for the next sewing ministry project.

Stephen returned about 7:00 p.m. and said, in spite of the fact that it's still difficult for him to understand Spanish, he had a great time with the team.

Happy Birthday, America



It's been quite a normal day here in San Salvador . . . . we went to the bank to pay our rent, stopped by the water company to pay our bill and bought a few groceries at Walmart.  

Nevertheless, I've been reading on Facebook all about the parades, BBQ's, family gatherings and fireworks.  We've heard and seen a few fireworks, but nothing like our memories of the show at Legacy Park!

Happy birthday, America.  We're proud to call you home even when we're far away.
