Good morning again from the mountain city of La Palma, Chalatenango, El Salvador! We are well and healthy except that Morris is feeling the effects of a cold coming on. Sudafed and Vitamin C are the remedies that seem to be helping.
Morris and Doug and installing better locks on some interior doors for security. The existing ones are just too easy to open, even when locked.
Morris built a set of parallel bars for Claudia to exercise on. She has gone back and forth so many times already that her legs are sore! A year ago she could barely stand up from her wheel chair with the help of someone.
Erika is a little better now and continues to get better each day.
All of us are speaking a little more Spanish each day because of the necessity to learn a few new words. Several people here are trying to learn English, so we work with each other.
Still no word on the container release. I have spoken with people at the embassy and tried all of the contacts we know close to government. We are frustrated but not giving up. Please say a prayer today for quick action. We are trying to decide what to do about going home, since our schedule is for tomorrow. I will post something this afternoon, because we are running out of time. God bless you, Ralph
