It was a whopping 84 degrees today (our hottest day yet) with a slight breeze and no humidity... do you wish you were here yet? The team feels that SLP is our home away from home. This morning we went to the orphanage for the childrens store. Each child is rewarded with points to spend on prizes at the store. The children purchased hair gel, toys, hair bands, candy and more. It is very rare for these children to open item from the original packaging. Many young boys purchased items for their sisters instead of themselves. It is selfless acts like these that humble us. Today we saw the children in their school uniforms. Many people from Grace Covenant have made it possible for these children to go to school by providing the uniform. This afternoon we finished painting the chapel and it looks muy bonita (very beautiful). Some girls on the team were able to sort a mountain of clothes for the community thrift store. This store is a huge ministry outreach in the neighborhood. Tonight we drove out to the outskirts of SLP and up a mountain to lookout over the entire city of SLP. It was a beautiful sight to see at sunset. While we have been her
e we have seen the culture of this place from the poorest of poor to the blessed. Tomorrow we will make a trip to a town called San Miguel. We hope to enjoy the last full day we have here. Thank you for your continued prayers for tomorrow and our travels on Wednesday. Our team is truly a family who have all fallen in love with the city of SLP and the free loving people who live here.
