I can´t believe how fast time has passed here in El Salvador. I feel like I haven´t had a chance to breathe since I got here. I have been here for two weeks, but it seems like I could have been here for a year. I have experienced pretty much every emotion and feeling possible and we have traveled all over the county. The next two weeks will surely present plenty more adventures.
This morning I went to the zoo. The zoo is a pretty nice zoo complete with islands for the monkeys. I´m not a huge fan of zoos because I feel badly for the the animals, but this zoo wasn´t too bad. There were a ton of school kids at the zoo and it made me think of the days when I went to the zoo for school.
Today 17 people from 2 different churches in Minnesota arrived. Most of them are from Family of Christ Lutheran Church and three are from another church. They´ll be here for 10 days. It´s been a little chaotic with trying to get all the people and all their luggage from the airport and getting them all settled here at the Casa Concordia. I already know a few people who were also here last summer, and it´s already been wonderful getting to know some of the others. I´m going to be hanging out with them for most of the next 10 days. I´m looking forward to learning more about leading mission trips and learning from the relationship Family of Christ has with pastors and churches in El Salvador.
