Day 7-Wrap up, rest up and pack up

The last full day in country is a time of R and R and F (Fellowship). The team members had 3 choices-tour a coffee processing plant, shopping at the mall, or chilling out at the hotel. From all reports each venue provided the activities needed and were enjoyed by all.

I joined the group touring the coffee plant. When you see John Thomas, Sue McPhereson or Annie Massey asking them about the taste test. This plant supplies its highest quality beans to Starbucks. It is clear that most countries do not require the same level of safety for visitors of places such as this. By the way this plant is a cooperative of 600 people and it is only plant in continuous operation since the revolution over 28 years ago.

Our dinner tonight was served at the Paradise restaurant. I ate the sea bass and it was excellent! (I was being good, so I balanced that out with a brownie and ice cream for dessert).

The best thing of the day was the fellowship with our teammates from Mount Juliet, Hendersonville, Franklin, KY, Brushy, Cobb County, GA, Sedalia, MO, and Valdosta, GA.

Our work here has been blessed by several veteran leaders. 8 people have been on every Spring trip since 2002-Donna Crisp, Kenny Page, Rose Kennedy, Phil Waggoner, Mark Crisp, Ronnie Travis, Dennis Buchanan, and Bill Staggs. Only the last 4 have been on all Spring trips we have taken to El Salvador. We now have congregations in San Augustin, San Francisco, Usulutan, Santa Elena and now, Tonacatepeque. We had 11 baptisms and ten or residents of Tonacatepeque. There is a congregation of the Lord's church in a place where there has not been one before. There are a number of people that have had Bible studies and are close to obeying the gospel. Elias, Jr. and Carlos, Jr. are staying a week longer to work with Victor and Enricky to follow up on the studies that were conducted.

All in all this was a very successful trip. A lot of good was done in the name of the Lord.

The last day is one of departure and travel. The last team should arrive home around midnight Nashville time.

I thank each team member for the work that has been done and the spirit in which it was undertaken.

Buddy
