Hey all, this is Russ speaking! We are currently in the San Salvador, El Salvador airport. It is currently 2:48pm and I'm writing this on Elly's iPod! We've been here since 7am...awesome 7 hour layover!! Things I've done in the last few hours: search for an El Salvadr soccer (futbol) jersey,el eat some breakfast at subway, look around all the stores with a few people, take a mini nap, had a debriefing meeting where we discussed missions and core reasons/excuses people come up with for not going, walked from one end of the airport to the other (736 steps), random security check for those on our side of the airport, and some accountability/discipleship time with Greg. 736 steps = 368 paces. my pace count is 65 paces/100 meters. So....that means the airport is approximately 560 meters long!
Anyways, our time of living and serving in community has been great. Going to be honest though, we've had some rough patches this week: arguments, conflicts, anger, miscommunications, etc. Christians aren't perfect, but we have a model to follow after. Jesus!!!! I truly loved witnessing our family grow closer as we learned the true art of forgiveness and grace.
For anyone that reads up on this right away, please pray that we continue to grow towards Jesus together, we serve God wherever we are and that our experience in Nicaragua, Lord willing, may lead to conversations of what God accomplished in a week and opportunities to share the Gospel!
I love you all!!
