This great lady has earned the respect and admiration of everyone who has worked with her. This is Hiliana, a great nurse with a compassionate heart. She is not a typical worker for the health system because she goes far above and beyond what is required of her in her work. She knows all of the people in her assigned areas and is a talented and personable lady. She has guided our work in La Palma to help the ones who need it most.
May God bless her always.

Our team is all home except for one member who volunteered for a bump in Houston. It has been a great trip.

Beautiful morning here! Leaving soon.

Linda petted a calf--but was careful about it.
We finished our last day together and discussed how our experiences will affect our lives when we get home.
We are to leave the hotel by bus tomorrow morning for home. It has been a great experience for all of us.

We had another great day yesterday. We really got 'high'. The first school we went to was at 7600 feet above sea level. It was a school facility with one classroom, one office building, some outdoor bathrooms, and a kitchen. There are about 25 student there K-6. Our team led the children in some songs for fun, gave them vitamins and parasite pills, and some clothing and toys.

We then went to another smaller school, but did not actually go to the building. It is a 10 minute walk from the road, and we had the kids come to us. Again, gave out parasite pills and vitamins and clothing and toys.

Then took a detour to El Pital, highest point in El Salvador, at 8700 feet above sea level. There is an awesome view from there! Oh, it was a gravel road that was bumpy and we were in the back of a large truck! So, coming back down the mountain we gave clothing and candy and toys to the kids walking along the road. There was a lot of laughing all during the trip, and we were tired last night. We had been blessed to serve our Lord and we prayed that our work was a blessing to the people.

We are well and healthy and will be doing last-minute stuff today to get ready for the trip home tomorrow.
