Here is our cool car. It is really a comfortable car and we are grateful to have it.
This is where we work. It is the San Salvador Institute of Religion.
The best looking missionary and the hardest working. He is amazing.
I thought this was interesting, our own little cacti garden.
These are just pictures from our apartment. El Salvador is beautiful.
We drove from Guatemala City down to San Salvador. It was a beautiful drive. It is so green here. It took us about 3 1/2 hours.
There was road construction and we had to stop for a bit so we got a couple of good photos.
This is our apartment building. We are on the second floor. The parking garage is under the building and there is a guard that lets you in and out.
The Mission President and his wife, President and Sister Perez, found this place for us to live. It is really such a nice, comfortable place. They even stocked the shelves and refrigerator before we came so we had food to eat and laundry and hand soap. They were so kind. 
Our kitchen
Family room and dining area
This is our view out the living room window, it is San Salvador Volcan
Our view out over the city of San Salvador. I love it at night. A couple of evenings so far we have been able to watch fireworks
This is our view out the kitchen window. It is the World Trade Center
This is President and Sister Perez and their children. The two older girls speak English quite well. They came in for lunch on Sunday afternoon just after we got here and we had toasted cheese sandwiches and after we finished those girls had the table cleared, dishes done and floor swept. We were sorry that we only got here 5 days before they finished their mission but we are so grateful for the opportunity to have met them.
This is where we were trained. This building holds the institute, the employment center, the PEF center and the bishop's storehouse. It is a very nice building.
This is the bishop's storehouse. In the back was a room where people would measure and fill the bags of rice and beans. It looks quite a bit different then what we usually see.
These are the filled orders
We got to go and see the Guatemala Temple. It is hard to take a picture of the whole thing because the spire is so tall. The grounds were also very lovely.
These are the people we got to work with while we were in Guatemala. On the left is Reynoldo Nunez who is the director of PEF in the Central American area, Elder and Sister Arnold and they are from Utah and then Claudia Galvez who has been the head of the service centers.
We left the MTC Saturday morning the 18th of June at 5:00 am and were driven to the SL airport. We left about 8 and arrived in Dallas/Fort Worth and had about a 4 hour layover. It is such a huge airport. You had to take a tram to go from one terminal to the next. We were headed for Guatemala for more training before heading off for El Salvador.
Here is our last look at the United States coast line. When we got to Guatemala there was a terrible storm so the plane could not land so they flew to El Salvador. There we waited in the plane until the storm over Guatemala stopped and then we flew back to Guatemala. Glad it was only about a 45 minute flight. Here we waited for our bags, got through customs and we were met by two senior elders who took us to a beautiful hotel, the Barcelona, where we stayed while we were in Guatemala.
Here is a view of Guatemala out the window of our room at the Barcelona. They had a complementary buffet breakfast. One of the things I tried was fried platano which is similar to a banana. It is really good. They had all sorts of breads, eggs, fruits, meats. Lots to choose from. A senior couple, Elder and Sister Arnold, picked us up for church and we attended the branch they are assigned to. The people are so friendly and welcomed us very warmly.
This is another view out of our window and these volcanos are called the Tres Hermanas
