Nicole, my friend and teammate, made this video of our time so far in El Salvador! It is a really great video and shows a lot of what we have been doing and the people we have met here in Apastepaque. Hope you enjoy it!!

Quick update:
*you all must be praying because the day of my last blog post was one of the best days here! Thank-you for the prayers!
*Ended up with the stomach flu or food poisoning last week (not sure which:))–but thankful to be over that!!:)
*There is a community we go to here called Brisas that is my favorite (where those 2 adorable girls live). We have gotten to go back there several times and I LOVE it. We play with the kids, talk with the families there, have performed dramas and share Jesus love with them.
*Last night my teammate Chris and I stopped to play basketball with some of the people here in Apastepaque. It was so much fun and I loved getting to know some of the women here. They invited me to practice with them this next week and go to the tournament with them to watch this weekend. So hoping that will work out!
*A couple of days ago 2 of my teammates and I went to talk with our neighbors and ended up getting a makeover from them-hair, makeup, the whole works! It was a lot of fun. We ended up spending the whole day with them.
*Several of these past few days we have been able to go to the schools here in Apastepaque and play with the students, talk with them, and perform dramas. It has been good. At one point though, I thought I might die because a herd of little girls was chasing, choking, and tackling me repeatedly. One of my teammates caught part of it on video so hopefully I'll be able to share that soon:) The children there are SO much fun!:)
*Today, when visiting one of the communities, I was able to hold a baby chick, baby puppy, little bird, and ride a horse bareback. The people here are SO friendly!
*We leave El Salvador and head to Honduras on February 11th!
That's it for now! Hope you enjoy the video!!:) And yes, those are ants carrying a huge chip across the church floor and a scorpion my teammate found in her belongings here!
