And Now a Word from Alex

Dear supporters thank you so much for your support. You will be excited to hear that I came back with only a little stomach ache. You have made all that we did for the trip possible. I really appreciate all of your prayers. There were constant times that we could see God at work. For example: In San Salvador, which is the capital city we stayed in, there were three churches. We did an "Encounter" which is like a youth conference. By doing this three nights in a row we united the three churches!!!
God really showed himself to me this week - one day inparticular. This day we went to "la puerta del diablo", which means "the door of the devil." It was a scenic site that you could see all of San Salvador on a mountain. While we were driving, half way up the mountain, it started to poor rain. When we got to our parking lot we waited for the rain to subside. Soon enough it was just a dribble but very cloudy. We decided to go up all the same. It was about a 10-15 minute hike up some stairs until we got to the top. We couldn't see 20 yards in front of us. So it looked like we would miss a wonderful view. But since we were up their our El Salvadorian intern wanted to give his testimony while we were there. As he was sharing and we were praying slowly the clouds started to be blown away. We would catch a glimpse of another mountain top - and everyone would gasp. The clouds were so thick that it could only be God that was moving them. Slowly but surely the clouds cleared completely up. Tthe place of solitude for us was filled with God's presence. God came out every day to show Himself. We coined a term: "God likes to show up and show off."
The funnest day for me was a beach day. Why so fun? The Pacific's water was over 80 degrees and warmer than the air, the waves were perfect for body surfing- that is if you like being sucked in by a powerful under toe and spat back out at top speeds tumbling and flipping you, smashing and drowning you, and best of all using you to knock down those in the shallow water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not just the water was great but we got our own pavilion to sit under. On the beach I had the best mango I had ever had it was Soooooooooo good. Thank you again for your support I couldn't of had this life changing experience without you.
