4/21/14: Day 50: Government Holiday

Woke up at 5:30 and studied the maps to get to the mall in San Salvador. Hector called at 6:15 and said I had to have the letter written for the visa request ready now. I wrote it up in English and Della and Lucky translated it. Every time I printed, Della or Lucky found something to correct and I had to reprint four times.  We left a bit late and Lucky asked if she could ride with Tomás. We were almost to Sonsonate when Hector called again and said that everything that we needed was still closed for Easter. All the retail stores are open but the Government always gets an extra holiday. I immediately tried to call Samuel but I couldn’t reach him. I called Osvaldo and he said Samuel had already gotten on the bus. Then Della managed to get Tomás to pull over. We said our good byes to Tomás and parted ways. We decided to go to Ahuachapán to get groceries and flea medication.  We got back home at 10:30 and I worked on a lesson on Deborah and rested a bit.  I managed to get in touch with Samuel and I told him I was sorry for standing him up and he kept saying it is O.K., that he really wants to help us. We are now planning to go to San Salvador tomorrow to make these connections and get our paper work completed. It feels like we have a lot left to do and there is a real danger that we may not be able to get it all done.

Please pray that God will work wonders for getting the paperwork completed tomorrow.

We had more people than ever at the small group tonight, more than twenty adults. The lesson went well and seemed well received. Some of the people who came were not Christians, people that we have been working with. We are excited and encouraged about this!
