El Salvador 2011 Day 6

The campaign has ended but there is still much work to be done. We have had a good five days working in Usulutan; there were a number of restorations and baptisms. I can't give you a good count as I was gone a good bit of the week. Hopefully we will have the numbers tomorrow night.

We had some disappointments-spending three days trying to get our medicines through and being able to work the dental crew only two days because we didn't have a local dentist. Those were the disappointments. But even good came out of those: we have lots of new friends at the health department and understand the new procedures much better than we ever hoped to.

There were far more highlights like arranging for a little boy with cerebral palsy get a wheel chair thanks to donations, the baptisms and restorations mentioned above, seeing our young people meet fellow Christians from other countries, numerous Bible studies, and adult team mates meeting new people from other countries and the USA. I could go on but I will stop at that.

Our work is done here except for bugging out in the morning and heading to the hotel to recoup, shopping or sightseeing at a coffee plantation.

It has been a really hot week and losing the electricty and A/C on a couple of nights has not helped. Yes, this is the same hotel we stayed at when we lost electricity and water last time. This time we were able to catch things before they went too far and were able to salvage the lights and the water pump (for the most part). Our maintenance team is incredible! You just don't know what they can do in a pinch. Brushy, Pikeville and MJ men blended and made sure everything was done.

Well, it is late and I need to get some rest so I will sign off for tonight.

More tomorrow, hopefully.

Buddy
