oh, and this is cool...

In trying to describe our day yesterday, I forgot to share about something really cool that has been happening as well. We have hired a tour company to drive us around in a microbus. The tour guide´s name is Julio, and he is such a great guy. He prays for us in the morning, and knows just about everything there is to know about El Salvador. He is coming to church with us on Sunday morning.

Julio also has an assistant named Sandra. She has been with us the last two days, when he couldn´t. She just turned seventeen, and is trying to learn English. Very sweet. Of course, we are all talking to her as much as we can. She thinks Jason Hill is funny. (who doesn´t?) Anyhow, last night she came with us into the homes of the disciples that we were serving. At the second home, we were talking with Angel about his faith in God. She was sitting back in the corner, not a part of the conversation at all, and all of a sudden she bursts out with ¨I want to find out about this church!¨ Of course, Teresa Chavez was all over that, and spent the rest of the night in the van talking with her about her life. She is coming to church with us on Sunday.

The drive of the microbus is named Alfredo. He has spent most of his life in San Marcos, where Gladys lives. When we pulled up to her house, he got out of the van, and saw her, and realized that she was his 4th grade teacher! He was so moved by what we were doing for her, and he is now coming to church with us on Sunday. (This kind of stuff only happens with God...)

Get this. The two policeman that we have traveling with us are on loan to us from the Department of Tourism. Seriously. I think JP and Carla´s family has connections. Anyhow, these two guys have had such a great time. In this picture, I asked them to look really mean and tough. This is as good as they could do. We (really, Jason) has named them Batman and Robin. They don´t seem to mind. They have started teasing Jason as much as he teases them. Anyhow, after our last stop last night, Vanessa and Liz cornered them and told them that they have to come to church on Sunday, under the penalty of death. Jason learned to say ¨if you don´t come, I will kill you¨in Spanish. I think that convinced them. Anyhow, they are coming to church on Sunday.

Please pray for Julio, Sandra, Alfred, Batman and Robin to all come to church and become true Christians!
