We learned "Little Swag's" real name - Melvin. Who knew the name Melvin was Spanish? Praying over teachers and students solidified our bond with them. The students had a skit and dance prepared for us as well as some really cool pens. (We'll show you when we get home.)
We moved from Sonsonate back to San Salvador and are currently staying in a castle. Unfortunately Greg the Gecko did not make the bus to our new place, but I am sure that he is enjoying the company of the noisy Canadians who are now inhabiting our quaint and pleasant hotel (their ability to keep us awake will not be missed by any of us). Four girls are staying in one room, soon to be three as we are saying goodbye to Sarah at 4:00 am in the morrow. She is traveling to Illinois to attend her Grandfather's funeral (sad face).We will miss her a lot; she was such a great and encouraging asset to the team and we are very thankful to have been able to spend the past week with her. Tomorrow new adventures will start for all of us (for some of us our adventures will be starting at 4am, so we should probably be signing off).

Praying for you guys as Sarah leaves and as you all leave your new friends. It speaks to the impact you all have made that it was hard to say goodbye. But how cool that you are staying in a castle!! (and Meredith, it makes me laugh that you name all the reptiles in your life; hope Bosephus won't be jealolus that you have a new 'friend':). Have a great weekend--when is the zipline??
