Kyle has been picking up Spanish pretty well while we've been here. He went in the morning to the nurses' desk and requested that the doctor be called since it had been over 12 hours since we'd come in. She called very shortly after that and was there within 45 minutes. The doctor filled the papers for releasing us to go home and briefed us on things to look for that may be signs of a problem. However, she expects that all is well but wanted us to be aware as a precaution.
The nurse came in and removed the IV. Then an attendant came that offered to bath Eliana. Eliana liked the water and the special attention. Everyone calls her "Preciosa/Precious Girl". El Salvadorians see foreigners but hardly see their babies. So we get lots of attention, which Eliana handles pretty well. Another attendant brought us breakfast: frijoles, bananas fritas, pan, queso, y juevos con tomatos. 
Wednesday afternoon was very good for me because we were finally helping in the ministry!!! We helped created a backdrop that is hung on sheets for the children’s ministry. Marco knows little English, but we were able to communicate through his wife via cell phone. Marco Jr. created an invitation for an evangelistic event on June 25th. We recreated most of the invitation on a sheet. Initially, we free handed the script which said La Tribulacion del Blanco Perla y escape de isla de Perdicion (The Tribulation of the White Pearl and the escape from the island of Perdition). Kyle free handed the dated of the event. As we looked at the ship we were to recreate, Kyle noticed an overhead projector. He asked if we could use it to show the ship on the sheet. Marco said he’d have to buy the paper the following day, but that he had a projector. HA! We had no idea that he had a projector. It made tracing the ship quick and easy. Marco loves to talk to Eliana. Eliana opens so many doors for communication here.
Both pictures are from the third floor of the church. It is VERY green here!
