Hello from La Palma! Another great day here--the last day for many of our team. They are scheduled to leave for the airport at 8 in the morning.
The photo shows the children on the playground in the new location. They were on it before it was completely assembled even.
Yesterday was a mixed day. Phil (now named Filipe) and I attended a graduation ceremony in San Salvador for the preacher school there. It was a terrific experience for us and we met some very nice people from Livingston, Texas and Mayfiield, Kentucky.
Our team experienced the first accident ever that required medical treatment. Jody fell and had to have some stitches. He is OK but has a bruise on his knee that is very sore. The doctor who sewed him up did a great job and charged nothing. He had been a member of the medical campaign in February and returned the favor that our people bring to La Palma.
We have no word on the arrival of the containers yet. They have cleared Customs but someone in the President's office has yet to sign the final papers.
The school is functioning well and the church is well attended at night. This evening we go to Reina's house for pupusa--a treat that we really look forward to.
We are all healthy and busy. I hope to get time to write more tomorrow. God bless you, Ralph
