Monday, 20 July 2009 02:04:58 PM (GMT) El Salvador was amazing!!
I made a lot of frans. It's so beautiful there.
We lived in an volcano. I think it's active too. But you can't tell that we were in
a volcano!

The sad thing is...
Most of El Salvador is kids.
70% Don't have a mom or dad.
23%Has a mom or dad.
7% Have both parents.
Most children take care of their own siblings and are homeless.
Girls are forced into prositution.
Boys are forced into gangs and murder people everyday.
++++++++++++++
To all teenagers and kids:
I know that all of you guys are not like this. But, you guys do not know how much
you take things for granted. You guys have cell phones and cameras and your not even
satisfied about that. You guys always want more material things. These kids
hardly have anything but one outfit to wear everyday. When I went on this trip I
noticed how mature these kids are, it's because they are the parents of their
younger siblings. So if you just hate your parents, oh you don't have no idea you
LUCKY you are to even have parents. At least you have clothing on your back, a roof
over your head, and food in your mouth. You guys better love your parents for all
they have given you.

This country needed Jesus so badly. These kids were so precious and kind. I just
loved giving the candy and the prizes to them. One little girl kissed me on the
cheek for being kind to her. One of the adults on the team said that God gave her a
vision of a little girl in a pink shirt named Stephanie and she found her at school.
Our translator said that some kids are too poor to afford uniforms so that is why
some of them are not wearing school clothes. It's amazing how God works.

A couple people prayed for a man's arm, he couldn't move his fingers or his hand at
all. Once they prayed one of the leaders told him to wiggle his fingers and he did.
The man jumped up and told his friends all about and was led to Christ.
One old lady had chest pains, a few people prayed for her and those chest pains were
gone.
866 people found salvation this week. Praise God!
