August 21, 2015

And we're off.  Charlotte stayed up until 3 am working on finishing her dress so she could hopefully wear it on Sunday.  I went on to bed about 1
ough for two days.  She had a headache and forgot to take anything for that.  She said she always gets a headache on travel days.  Probably because she slept so much last night.  We had a smooth trip to the airport and arrived in plenty of time. We told Cesar how glad we were that we had ended up being able to work with him and Eliza after all the years that had passed since we had all first talked about the idea.  Turns out we are the only full time missionaries from the States from the Churches of Christ.  We told him how lucky he was to get to work with two old Gringos.  On our flight from El Salvador to Houston we sat next to a young man from El Salvador who worked at the El Salvadoran embassy in London.  He had only been working there 6 months but before that had worked 2 years at the Embassy in Russia and said he spoke Russian.  His parents still lived in El Salvador as well as his girlfriend who he actually met in Russia.  He said they hoped to get married in a couple of years.  We are now finally on the flight to Huntsville after a long and tiring trek through the customs process in Houston.  We finally got to eat at Panda Express but it was not too great.  Our flight was delayed about 15 minutes as a thunder storm passed through the airport area.  We tried to call family and let them know but we have no phones and could not get on the net.  Well, see them soon.   


Ready to fly!
