Flights

IM IN EL SALVADOR!!!

We flew from Buffalo, to Dullas, to El Salvador. I haven't met the other girls that I am staying with yet, but I'll meet them as soon as we arrive at our next and final destination; Tegucigalpa. The Houghton kids are awesome. They are all really sweet and as dumb as I in spanish. :) When we first stepped off the plane into El Salvador, a huge heat wave came over us. It is SO humid and I guess that the temperature is an easy 100 degrees! We were told to drink a TON of water to keep from dehydration.

I had my first conversation, or what one would call a sad attempt, with one of the natives today. I just wanted to buy a pop and the lady who was cashing me out was trying to coax me into buying a meal with it. I kept saying "no, quiero gaseosa," which means "i just want pop." It was fun, but I know will be extremely difficult in the future!

I still can't believe I'm posting this as I am sitting in El Salvador. We're just waiting around for the next flight which is around 4:30; its only 2!!!

hi mom :)

The women at Tuesday morning bible study prayed for you yesterday. Sue McLain said to find exactly where you'll be ( couldn't remember the town) because maybe you'll be close enough to Josh and Maria for them to make contact while you're there.
BTW: with heat and humidity that high, I won't be coming with you when you lead that team next year!
Praying for you!
