Houston

In Houston waiting for flight to San Salvador.

Our team leaves out early in the morning. Some of us have to leave home at 1:30 am to catch the early flights to Houston. As we travel I will inform one of my daughters about our progress and have it posted here--Houston, San Salvador, pupuseria, La Palma. Pray for our safety and success. God bless you, Ralph

Great News! We received approval from the Ministry of Education to move the La Palma Christian School! This is what we really needed so we can move the furniture and equipment next week. We will have a great week!
We will meet in the new church building Sunday the 7th for the 1st time, and will have the 'inauguration' of it on the 14th.

A lady struggles to carry a set of bedsprings up the street, so Jaime helps her by carrying it for her!

The milkman heads back toward home. Every morning this man brings one or two cans of milk into town on a horse. He later goes back home with empty containers. The lack of refrigeration makes immediate delivery a necessity.

Lori gets a kiss from 'Uncle Kevin' as she lovingly looks at Blanca's daughter, Emily.

Those who have been to La Palma have met Christina, the little girl whose mother was 61 years of age when she gave birth! Well, in the 5 years we have been going there, she has been growing up into a beautiful young lady. She is charming and loving-- a real hugger! Here she smiles for a photo closeup. Her mother is little and frail, but she walks briskly and never misses church, although it means a long walk for her--and it is about to get much longer as the new building is on the other side of town.
