I follow your husband’s blog, and when I saw the name “El Salvador,” my eyes just popped out of my head. I just got back from two years with the Peace Corps in El Salvador, and while I was living there, my parents chose to sponsor a little boy and had the opportunity to visit him. I served as their interpreter. It was an unforgettable experience. What is the name of the city where your child lives? Are you going to be able to see any other parts of the country?

so funny – I do stuff like the painting too. Although the last few years I have sort of forced myself not to do stuff like that- maybe I’m just getting old!

So I’m with you in the whole “I-can-control-this” painting projects. When I was going through chemotherapy this past spring, in between treatments, I decided to paint one of my bedrooms, walls, ceiling and put in base boards. Everyone thought I was nuts, but it helped me feel like there was something I could do in at least one small area of my life. Aaaah, the illusion of control…

I just returned last Saturday from a Compassion tour to El Salvador. How I wish I was returning with you this week!

I am still in the process of blogging and posting photos (I took 1500 in a week) and I am eager to see your posts next week.

funny that you say that about painting. when I paint (as in canvases) it really helps me b/c like you said, I feel like I’m getting something done. Everything else in my life (parenting, dishes, laundry) seems to perpetually need to be done. It’s really nice to have something I can complete :)

As for things to take, I just keep thinking “stickers.” Every time I’ve thought of you I think I need to bring you stickers to give to cute little kiddos there.
