Greetings! We have arrived in El Salvador around noon their time, 2 PM Eastern. We had a minor delay from Atlanta and the computer system that kept track of which bags were supposed to be on which plane was down. They had to do it all by hand. We were all holding our breath as the bags came out to see if all of our luggage made it. Thankfully all of our luggage was accounted for! Thanks for your prayers!
The missionary here, Wally, came and picked us up and took us to get traditional El Salvador food called pupusas. They are kinda like pancakes and tacos put together. They put the ingredients inside the "pancake" material. They came with chicken, beans, squash, and cheese. It was a good first meal here! We then headed to our hotel called the "Good Luck Hotel". We have a few hours to unpack, get some rest, and go exploring the city before we have orientation and dinner at Wally's house.
We appreciate all your prayers to get us here safely! We do have wireless internet in our hotel for now, so we will be able to post at least once a day to let you know how things are going here. Feel free to post comments and messages so that the group can be encouraged each day.
Lauren
