In El Salvador, the team stayed and worked with the Youth With a Mission base in the capital, San Salvador for 5 days. It was nice to be cooked for and very nice to be able to use the swimming pool on site! San Salvador seemed very westernized (read: fast food restaurants and shopping malls) although I did enjoy the doughnut shop!
The team was kept busy working in a drug and alcohol rehab, serving homeless people and local churches. I got to visit families who live in a cemetery which felt bizarre (the road had been extended so the people moved to the cemetery when they realised their houses were due to become no more - all in the name of progress no doubt) as well as victims of a recent flood - we got to play with the children and bless the local church. We also saw God answer our prayers and make sick people well which was amazing. I felt ready and energized to move onto Honduras when we came to leave.
