Joy and sorrow in El Salvador



We are nearing the end of our work week (today is the last day of work) and it’s easy to see all the relationships that have been formed – between us as a team, with the Habitat folks and with the community.  It makes another day of hard work, a real joy to wake-up to. 


On the other hand, with new relationships comes feeling the pain of others.  Our habitat translator and new friend, Juan, lost his sister to a heart attack yesterday.  She lived in Oregon with her husband and she was only 36.  It was tough for us to see our new friend in so much pain but we (and he) were both thankful we could be here for him.  

Juan was met with warm hugs and prayer from our team.  Juan Cea Marti is the one on the right end of this pic.  Please keep him and his family in your prayers.  


We are looking forward to this afternoon when we will have the dedication ceremony (of the new homes we worked on) with the community.  There's no doubt in any of our minds the impact Habitat has made and will continue to make by coming along side to further develop this community.  

Love & blessings,

Eli, Ross & Team El Salvador
