Kristin and I absolutely love going on Book of Hope trips. El Salvador was no exception. We arrived last Friday in San Salvador, El Salvador and then took a two and a half hour bus ride to Chaletanango. Chaletanango is a rural village in the Northeast region of El Salvador. From there, we would take vans to the outskirts of El Salvador, near the border of Honduras. It was amazing to take the Book of hope into these extremely rural villages. The mountainous roads made our morning drives even more interesting. Everyday we encountered herds of cattle blocking the roads.

Overall, we had a great trip. We passed out about 7,000 copies of the Book of Hope. We made a lot of great friends and memories, and we can’t wait until our next Book of Hope trip. Thanks to all of our friends and family who supported us and prayed for us while were gone.
