Mission Work in La Palma, El Salvador La Palma is in northern El Salvador near the Honduran border. It is a beautiful mountain town with a great climate. We go there every 3 months to support the Iglesia de Cristo and the La Palma Christian School and to help the people gain a healthier lifestyle. We ship medical supplies and equipment to the region.

Something new happened to us at the Honduras border this morning. There was no one present at the immigration booth to issue us visas. I asked for help after several minutes and a guard from El Salvador said just go on. We went through the first gate and had no problem. Second gate was customs - we had several bags of clothing but no problem after explaining that they were for the church. Went on and were feeling happy when a red, 125 cc motorcycle with 2 uniformed officers on it came up by us and pulled us over. We explained what had happened--they looked somewhat confused--then waved us on. To an extent we are here illegally, but there is not much we can do about it. We had a good laugh about possible jail time --but also realize that it is sort of serious.
