Mission El Salvador Day 5

Published August 12, 2012 • Written by Trenton Henrichson Filed Under: Blog, El Salvador, Young Adult

Mission El Salvador Day 5 On our fifth day of the El Salvador mission we acted much more like tourists than missionaries. We drove to Antigua Guatemala, did some quick shopping and then found the Monastery turned hotel turned (five star) restaurant to eat some really good food (and use a good restroom). I’m not… [Read More]

Mission El Salvador Day 4

Published August 12, 2012 • Written by Trenton Henrichson Filed Under: Blog, El Salvador, Young Adult

Mission El Salvador Day 4 For my fourth day in El Salvador, I changed things up yet again and spent most of the day following the project FIAT (Faith In Action Together) nurse as she made her daily rounds.

Mission El Salvador Day 3

Mission El Salvador Day 2

Published August 8, 2012 • Written by Trenton Henrichson Filed Under: Blog, El Salvador, Young Adult

Mission El Salvador Day 2: The missioners in El Salvador truly run the gamut of ages, sexes, professions and experience with mission work. Every night Sister Gloria makes a list of the sites that need workers and what roles (construction or child play) each site needs. She then allows the missioners to assign themselves to… [Read More]

Mission El Salvador Day 1

Published August 7, 2012 • Written by Trenton Henrichson Filed Under: Blog, El Salvador, Young Adult

Mission El Salvador Day 1 Most of the first day was spent getting to El Salvador. My journey started at 5 am Austin time and didn’t pass through customs until 1 pm El Salvadoran time. El Salvador has had a little less than half a day to open my eyes. This was far more abundance… [Read More]

Mission El Salvador Day 0

Young Adult Mission to El Salvador Day 0   My next couple posts are going to be different. They are going to be shorter. They will come in more rapid succession. My spelling may be worse (not that it wasn’t bad enough already). Oh yes and after this one, they will be coming from El… [Read More]
