Sunday in Santa Ana, El Salvador

We had breakfast this morning before worshiping with the local congregation. It was a very uplifting time together. The congregation was very appreciative of our visiting. After the sermon, Adrian spoke for a few minutes about Health Talents and the work that it does. Health Talents wants to help the ministry of the local churches.

For lunch we all went to Pizza Hut and I think there was 29 of us in our group........you can always gain more people when you mention food. That is international!

Rick wanted Gaspar and Walter, the minister, to have the opportunity to talk more. I asked Gaspar if he would talk to Walter about how HTI has helped their ministry in Xepocol and he was excited to do that.

We went back to the hotel for part of the afternoon and then went to the mall to buy things we would need for the clinic tomorrow. Some of us bought other things as ice cream from Sarita's McFlurries from McDonalds and a phone from TIGO. So the question is, who do you think bought the Sarita's mango ice cream?

When we returned there was a short time to relax so we went by the pool with Raquel and Jennifer..........and their little friend. This grasshopper was huge!

I asked Raquel and Jennifer to swim out to the Mayan so I could get their photo but they kept telling they would later.............yeah, right!

Having the restaurant at the hotel is a great resource. It is convenient and the food was ok.....................but the wait was sometimes seemed a little longer than necessary. On Sunday night people were bored and giggly. I think Gaspar was extremely bored and started folding his napkin in the styles on different tables.

Other people started following suit for entertainment............Marlene and her captain cap.

Jennifer used the sugar packets for this creature's eyes.

Roger, knocked his over, punched it and then claimed it was a dead dog. If we would have had some ketchup, we could have added some color :)

Gaspar started this so we have him to blame. Conrad, in the background did not want any part of this nonsense :)

We had a short devotional time together. We prayed for all of the patients that we have seen and remembered Jorge Alberto from yesterday that needs cataract surgery.

We will be up ready in the morning and will visit Turin, I think.
