This load of hospital beds, along with mattresses, blankets, diapers, and other supplies, went to a drug rehabilitation facility in Chalatenango. The director of the facility has been a friend since my second trip to La Palma.

Today is the day Stephen returns to West Palm Beach. He stayed in El Salvador in June to visit with Carolina and her family.

This is a note from Marcy regarding little Andrea, who needs heart surgery:
Just wanted to let you know that the charity organization that wanted to sponsor Andrea is sending her test results to a couple of docs here in the U.S. for further review. They think a second opinion is in order and are willing to bring her to the U.S. if necessary. Although Todd has told me that her case is not very hopeful, I ask that you keep praying for her and ask God that she be helped in some way. Marcy

God bless you, Ralph
