Buenos Dias!
I apologize for the brief post, but our schedule is a bit tight.
We have arrived in El Salvador! The flight was excellent··everyone got to the airport without difficulty, and the flight was smooth and on time!
For lunch we stopped off at a typical fast food fried chicken restaurant that´s very popular here. Ordering was a bit of an adventure, but we all managed to get something to eat!
After we got here yesterday, we got an orientation to the country and Habitat El Salvador before having a chance to sample true homemade Salvadorian food.
Today we´re off to explore San Salvador!

Dear Team 14,
We were happy to hear that you all arrived safely. Flight tracker had your plane stalled over Cuba for hours. We thought maybe you were either taking a side trip to Havana so that Cappie could brush up on her Spanish or were taken hostage because of contraband found in Kjersten's guitar case and then we figured out your plane had left American radar space.
Were your ears burning this morning? We prayed for you at church today. We know our prayers are being answered because the Milwaukee medical team showed up with their medications to cure Don, John and Tom. We are grateful for that. Pastor Wendy had us pondering Nicodemus' trick question and the answer Jesus gave in today's gospel. (Was this one of the three questions for our Lenten assignment?) We continue to pray that God will keep you strong and safe and full of joy as you build houses this week.
Vaya con dios!

First Trinity Family,
I was much relieved to hear from John last night for the first time since Saturday evening, and Kimberly suggested posting something here, as the group doesn't have email access to update or read the blog.
He said they were all doing well and having a marvelous time. They seem to have avoided both injury and illness. Though Pastor Tom is evidently not quite back to 100%, the drugs supplied by the Milwaukee medical team were successful in returning both Don and John to full health. Apparently the only thing that has happened is that someone dropped something on their toe - not bad for a week of hard work. John said the weather has been good, though certainly hot, the team is working well together - and given the laughter I heard in the background, it seems as if spirits are high. They working eight hour days and are having devotions every evening. They are enjoying contact with both the family and their neighbors. It will be great to see everyone and hear their stories.
I am sure you join me in pray for their safe return and for blessings on the family for which they labor and all those with whom they are in contact.
Barbara
