A Day of Good- Byes
June 25, 2010
Today was bittersweet. We spent the entire day at Exodo finishing up work projects and our week of VBS.

The children had [...]

We’re Here!

We arrived in San Salvador via Dallas without any delays or glitches. It is so humid, and as Americans we couldn’t wait for the AC to get cranked up in the vans from the airport to the hotel. It was dark here when we arrived this evening so we couldn’t see what the city looks [...]
