Bonding on buses, monkeys, and more

Hello, my Wonderful Wesleyans, from sunny El Salvador. I´m here on a mission trip with my home church where we´re going to be working on some Habitat houses. We got here yesterday around 1:00pm (11 am Salvadorian time). My grandpa, tío Javier, and two of my cousins were at the airport to meet us. It´s really great being here, since I haven´t been back in about five years. Since the week with Habitat doesn´t technically start until this afternoon or evening, we came to a small resort on the beach. It´s pretty cool. There´s a team from Apex UMC (the team my dad and brother came with last year) here too, and we´ll be working with them at our sites. They have some critters around the resort, like toucans, and monkeys that remind me of the one my grandpa had. I´m excited for Saturday, though, because our team is going to see some of the old ruins near San Salvador, and my grandpa is going to come with us. Then, my brother and I are going to spend the night at his house. I hope you´ve been enjoying your summers! I know I have been, but I´ll be ready to move into Wesley when I get back.
