We have been very busy the last few weeks, and that’s why I haven’t posted too many blog entries lately! We had three weeks of teams from all over Central America and I will post some pictures of them soon. Recently, we were thrilled to host my parents in El Salvador for a week. We have been blessed with visits from my mother-in-law, and now my parents since we’ve moved. We had a great time with my parents and our kids got a chance to reconnect with their grandparents. But of course we were sad to see them go! Here are some pictures from their visit.
My Dad spoke two nights at the YWAM night school.
Their church, Gateway Community of Faith, in Maryland donated some funds to feed the homeless in San Salvador. Here my mom helps one of the DTS teams pack the meals to be passed out. Thanks Gateway!
We took a trip to see some of the local Mayan ruins.
My Mom and Dad pose by the volcano crater at Parque de El Boqueron.
Jon and I with the kids on the walkway that goes along the edge of the volcano crater. It's such a beautiful place to visit!
We also visited the beach for two days. It was very hot so we all spent a lot of time in the pool!
Watching the sunset shows that El Salvador has some spots that are paradise!
While we were visiting the ruins, there were some "lawnmowers" there...sheep were grazing all over the ruins to cut the grass. The kids were fascinated by this little newborn goat.
The kids loved spending time with Nana and Papa!
Gatway also sent some donations for the YWAM base. We will use those to distribute to people in need...thanks for your generosity Gateway!

We had such a great time! But we miss you so much!
Wow, Tori and Ian look so much like your dad in that picture with the book! Glad you had such a nice visit with them.
