Update 4/28 - 5/4


     This week, Shaquanah has been continuing to help out in the school at the Central Church. Although many of the young kids can be challenging at times, she is doing a great job mixing discipline and grace to show them the love of Christ. She’s also helping out Violeta in the office. For anyone who doesn’t know who Violeta is, she’s pretty much the “go-to” person for the Potter’s Field Ministry here in El Salvador.

     Jesse and I have been continuing to help Randy and Trevor with the projects at San Martin. We poured the concrete foundation that will hold the water pumps for the bungalows where the teams will be staying. We also continued working on the steps. They’re starting to look really cool now that we added bamboo railings! On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons, there’s an after school kids’ program at the San Martin orphanage. This week, Jesse and I have gotten plenty of opportunities to hang out with the kids that attend the after school program and get to know them as we play with them, talk with them (what little we can say in Spanish), and help them with their homework.

     This coming Wednesday evening is when the first mission team is coming. They’ll be here for a whole week. Jesse and I are going to be staying in San Martin with them and helping Aureli with cooking for them. We’re both excited to be working so closely with the team, but we’ll be having to get up quite early to help make breakfast every morning. So keep us in your prayers that we won’t go crazy from any lack of sleep.

     As always, thanks for all the prayers. God bless.
