Day 5

Wednesday is always a challenging day on these campaigns. We try to give folks the opportunity to try different jobs and that seems to happen about the time everything is working well.

We were a little discouraged yesterday as there had been only 2 baptisms thus far and one was a young lady from another congregation. David Shannon encouraged us by saying that Wednesday is always a big day for the campaigns. He was right this time also. We had 7 baptisms. God certainly gave us the increase today.

The picture included with this post is 2 women and 4 children. Notice that the 4 children are carrying bags with toys. These bags were made by a group coordinated by our Katrina Thomas. We gave out at least 100 this year. Katrina's mother lives in Kentucky and is on the mail route of Charles Harrison. Charles is on this trip and brought some more "Katrina toys".

Charles and Anita Harrison of Franklin, KY, have 4 children-2 boys and 2 girls. Their boys were adopted in El Salvador and their daughters were adopted in Korea. 28 years ago this month, they journeyed to war torn El Salvador to pick up their first son, Adam. 28 years later Charles returned to El Salvador to help spread the Word.

We continue to eat (too) well on this trip. At the end of the evening meal we baptized a young man that is taking dyalysis. We had to take special precautions to prevent injection of his port. After the main group had loaded the bus the mayor arrived and brought papusas and a chocolate drink. We couldn't offend the mayor, so we ate the papusas he brought. The Lord's work has been blessed by this man's assistance on the campaign. He facilitated the location for our clinic, our meeting place and a house for the Latin brothers and sisters to live.

Another day in paradise has come to an end and the next (and last in the field) begins shortly. We have just a short time to spread the Word here.

More tomorrow.
