Psalm 121: The Lord will guard your going out and your coming, in both this time and forevermore.
The team
departed from Miami and arrived safely in El Salvador this afternoon.
First thing we noticed was how hot it was, even by Miami standards.
After a short drive the group enjoyed a lunch of local fare in Pupusaville (Pupusas, the national and most famous dish of El Salvador made by corn or rice with some topics).
Only kidding, we actually had pupusas of all kinds and some of us ventured to try the local “hot sauce”.
Then we met “Ms. Walmart”, a local woman, who somehow managed to carry more products than your local Walmart...in her basket. She managed to convince Sam to purchase a one of a kind chicken racket. After tremendous haggling the group listened to the constant peck, peck, peck of the chicken racket.
Please ask Sam to show you next time you see him.
We arrived at our first hotel for the trip in San Salvador, where we met several other groups all of which are here to work with HFHI. One group is from a school all the way from Manitoba, Canada. Myers Park Youth are also in town.
Before joining all the other groups for dinner we met with Alex, our Habitat Staff Coordinator. He spent time answering our questions and giving us some history on Getsemani and the current projects on which HFHI is working,. We are excited to see our friends from Getsemani and hear all that they have been doing.
