El Salvador 2011 Day 4d

OK, now I will finish out today's report from sunny and warm El Salvador.

I am not sure who enjoyed the comments on the blog more those who got a post from home or me. I just loved giving hugs to all the kids from their parents. Planting a big kiss on Martin Porter was not the best for him or me, but we complied. By the way Steph, Martin is working in the shade and he did bring a hat. All is good.

McClain mentioned the babies. Here is a pix of him holding this 21 day old little girl.

Not to be out done someone else needed to hold that little girl. Look out Colton and Lacie you may have someone living in your house when you return. Surprise David! Emilee is excited.

We had another frustrating day with our meds. Victor sent the day at the Health Department but got the final approval around 3 pm. Off to the airport to pick them up. Not so fast moose breath, you now get to deal with CUSTOMS. Five windows and at least 10 people later we got the paperwork completed, BUT we need a policeman to look thru the trunks for any control substances and he went home at 3. So it is up early, head to the airport at 630 and see if we can free the meds. If we can't we may just abandon them. So sad we could have helped so many people.

Still only one tooth pulled. No local dentist showed up today so Dr. Mike's outstanding crew has been just that out standing around wishing they could help the people of Usulutan, El Salvador.

We are getting some pub however. Phil was interviewed Monday by one TV station. Not to be out done the rest showed up to today for an interview. I was elected to talk to the media. I will sell my autograph when I return home.

Well, time to call it quits for today.

More tomorrow hoefully.
Buddy

Buddy...I love your post but really enjoyed hearing from the others. I know it is bad to be envious so I will work on that but in my mind I am pretending I am there! I would tell you to give Ronnie a hug....but I think we can skip that one! Keep up the good work...meds or no meds!

Thanks for all the updates! I'm not surprised that McClain is the unofficial entertainer of the group. I hope and pray that the meds will be released today. I know one dentist assistant who has been itching to pull a tooth since last year. Oh... when you're done with Martin, go ahead and give those Mintons a hug for me. Love you all!! Terri

It does my heart good to hear of all the good work going on. This is such a good work and glad our Elders encourage and support the many efforts we have.

I am very proud of the teens for going.

I am also proud of my girls for going. I got had a good laugh with Gilbert. That is my girl, always giving critters names.

Thanks again for the posts.

Give my girls a big hug and kiss for me.

I love you all and keep up the good work.

It is wonderful to hear that much good work is being done and lives are being changed. As Amelia said people there are so much more accepting of God's word than often times we encounter here in America. That makes our job here so much harder, but I pray these teens will come back with a fire in their hearts and ready to share God's word with everyone.

Amelia....I'm so glad to hear you're having a wonderful time. We knew you would! I'm glad my sunglasses are such a big hit! We can't wait to see you and hear about all your adventures. Much love to you and all your team members!

I have really enjoyed reading about the groups experiences while on this trip to El Salvador. I can't imagine all the wonderful stories and memories you will all bring home with you. Looking forward to hearing more stories from Rachel and Rebecca (especially about Gilbert!) when they get home.

God bless each of you on this trip and to the Mt. Juliet congregation and their elders for their vision and support of this wonderful work.

Give Rachel and Rebecca a big hug from Aunt Jill and all their Ohio people! I am very proud of both of you and love you lots!

We are continuing to keep all of you in our prayers as you continue through your week.

Jill

Love, love, love the blog! We are praying continuously for the work you all are doing! Can't wait to get a face-to-face account from McClain, but I'm so glad he chose to be a part of this! Sounds like great things are happening this week! We love you all! Hug my comedian for me.......and make sure he's washing behind his ears!

This is just great - hearing from all of you. I'm so glad to be part of a church that values mission work this much! Thanks so much for the different perspectives from the group. I'd love for my boys to be able to experience this one day! Love to all, Annette Moore
