Ned adjusting the foot rest and Kat inflating the tires. We have an awesome team of hard workers!
Our day began here at the town of Santa Tecla in the Posada Santa Teresa Health Clinic where a local TV station interviewed us and we adjusted chairs that will be delivered to locals in the municipality at a later date.
--------------
Our next visit was to a women's home for the aged run by the sisters of San Vicente de Paul. All women who live here have no family so to have visitors was a real treat! All religions are welcome, the only requirement is that there is no family to care for them.
Maria Elena Santos, age 88 with Kat. Maria is deaf, blind and recently broke her hip and pelvis from a fall. Even though she couldn't hear or see she could love and hug!

Joe, Kat, Julio, Anna and David at the men's home for the aged. We delivered 5 chairs, fitted each one to the recipient and had some time with each gentlemen. That gift of time and attention for these people was second only to placing them in their chairs.
Joe and I had the privilege of praying with this man who felt sad and hopeless. He felt sick all the time and was fearful of dying and lonely because his family didn't visit him. We prayed for his comfort and peace and the love of Jesus to fill his heart and assured him we would keep him in prayer.
The need and poverty of El Salvador is contrasted by it's amazing natural beauty.
We remembered our family and friends last night on this Independence Day and thanked God for our beloved country.
