I woke up this morning and it hit me that I’m going to be in
El Salvador TOMORROW!
And “excited” doesn’t even come close to capturing how I
feel about this fact.
The past two summers when I have gone to El Salvador I have
had plenty of time to think about going and get ready to go, but this year life
has been too busy to have time to reflect or think about what I’m about to do.
But realizing that I’m getting on a plane tomorrow has compelled
me to stop and think about it. I wish
you could see the huge smile that has formed on my face numerous times over the
past few minutes every time I have thought about going to El Salvador TOMORROW.
I’ll only be in El Salvador for 5 days, which is far too
short a time, BUT the good news is that I come home for two weeks and then I
get to go back to El Salvador for a 9 day mission trip with folks from my
church! The main reason I’m going to El
Salvador TOMORROW is for my friends Julie and Adam’s second wedding
ceremony. They just got married this
past Saturday in the Quad Cities and now they are going to have a second wedding
ceremony in El Salvador to celebrate with friends there. I’ll also do some planning for my church
mission trip while I’m down there this time.
My suitcase is mostly packed- after going to El Salvador
four times packing to go has become a pretty easy task. I just have a few more things to add…
I’ll do my best to give you some updates while I’m in El
Salvador. Please pray for me- for safe
travels and for a meaningful trip.
