Greetings from El Salvador.

I am sitting in the closet where they keep the computer trying to understand a computer that speaks Spanish. We had our first day of work today, and it was hard work. I thought I would be using hammer and nails on this project but due to the lack of trees, a hammer and nails aren't really needed. The houses down here are constructed mostly of concrete and rebar and without much in the way of mechanical supplies you certainly get a workout.

El Salvador is a beautiful country that reminds me a little bit of Tucson. The country is full of volcanos and experiences earthquakes on a regular basis. This increases the need for homes in this country.

Christ Lutheran has a good reputation down here. We have worked with Habitat on many homes and they appreciate our relationship. Consider yourself invited for the next trip. We return Sunday night and I cant wait to share more of the trip with you.

Peace

Chris
