Visit to El Salvador Mission & Johnsons home May 08

We traveled 3 1/2 hrs to El Salvador to visit Pres y Hna Call and participate in their zone conference, then a focus group to find out how to improve our work at the MTC, then a meeting with leaders and perspective missionaries. We had a wonderful experience, then flew to Belize with them on Friday for more meetings.
When we returned to El Salvador Dana & Anne Johnson (niece and husband) picked us up at this airport and welcomed us to their home. Anne and Regan, Ian, Maci and us.

Anne in her wonderful kitchen fixing the most delicious breakfast...mango, papaya, pineapple, blueberry muffins, eggs and OJ. Yum!

Aren't they a cute family? Ian, Regan, Maci, Anne, Dana holding Maya. TJ must be entering adolescence-(age 11) because he wasn't up yet.

It sure was nice to be with family!!!

This is the only picture I took on the way home from El Salvador...little tuktuk taxis in the villages. But if I had taken more pictures you would see...miles of highway under a green, flowering tree tunnel...colors in brilliant orange, hot pink and purple...2 youth age girls carrying 2 large striped jugs on their heads as they walked along the highway...here and there a man riding his horse with six 5-gallon water jugs tied on the sides...women in all sorts of dress, from dresses, to sport outfits, to jeans wearing frilly wrap around waist aprons while they work...village cemeteries that looked like neighborhoods with little buildings like playhouses painted in bright colors lined up in rows and covered with flowers...most buses are colorful and piled high on top with suitcases, etc and nearly all have something religious on them like ‘Jesus Lives’, but today we saw one with the painting of “Oh Jerusalem” by Greg Olsen poorly laminated on the back window. Interesting!...4 large pigs filling the back of a pick-up truck. It was a very enjoyable trip for us.
