El Salvador ’16 | Conclusion

This post started off as a “Day 5” post, but it is now 2022 and this trip was almost 6 years ago. I don’t even remember how many days we had there that August. So much is different now. I’m different, the world is different. Mauri started a church in France. Nicole got really sick…

El Salvador ’16 | Day 4

It’s been FOREVER since I’ve written, and I’m embarrassed that I’m writing this almost TWO YEARS later! You’ll have to excuse my lack of detail! Day 4 was our big outreach to the prostituted community near our partner church. We all met up at the church and then started the morning by visiting a neighborhood…

El Salvador ’16 | Day 3

Day three was particularly exciting because we were going to host the “Love and Justice” women’s conference at the Iglesia Central!! We all had been hard at work preparing songs, lessons, testimonies, etc for this special day. Women from MCA churches came from all over for this “training” and it was a blessing and an…

El Salvador ’16 | Day 2 | Parte Dos

After our morning church service, we had some time for quick visit with our friends at Roca Eterna (formerly Torre Fuerte) and we got to spend some time with them singing and praying together! We couldn’t stay long though, because we were headed to Paco’s church! We were so excited because when we were there…

Dominican Republic ’17 | Intro

I know I haven’t finished writing my last ES trip, but I just got back from the Dominican Republic, so I’m eager to share! At a women’s team meeting earlier this year, Carmen mentioned that they would be taking a leadership visionary trip to Dominican Republic with a few women from the team, and although…

El Salvador ’16 | Day 2 | Parte Uno

It was Sunday, and our first stop for this trip was a place that we hadn’t visited before, a church called En Hacore in the city. I’m not entirely sure of the connection, but Nicole and Carmen were telling us about some partners back at home who had helped to support and build that church…

El Salvador ’16 | Day 1

Lauren and her dad picked me up at my house a little before noon. We drove to the church and were met by Pam and Keith, and Amber. It took some work to get all the bags taken care of and we ended up distributing suits and adding dresses to our cargo. Soon we were…

Prague | Day 5

We woke up on our last day in Prague and we were sad! I really love this city, and we still had so much to see! We made our across the Charles Bridge, which is full of musicians, artists and performers. Another reason I love the bridge! Our first stop for the day was the…

Prague | Day 4

Day four was another day for exploring! We got up and ready to explore new parts of the city! The first landmark we went to was the Fred and Ginger Building! I LOVE this thing! Trying to figure out where to go next.. This one makes me laugh… We found a place for lunch, but…

Prague | Day 3

Happy New Year! (10 months ago) It was January 1st, 2016 and we resolved to not be very ambitious. We hung around our apartment for most of the morning and then walked to lunch (a much longer walk than anticipated) to a cute little pizza placed called Pizza Nuveou. We were all a little tired…
