Hopefully this blog will allow you to uncover the real El Salvador!

So El Salvador is not only beautiful and sweet... its a place of hardship, and a horrible history. These are the things that I have discovered on this trip. The stories are unbelievable and hard to hear and below I will attempt to explain them.

We arrived at our second destination! :D





Suchitoto! 

This place is beyond gorgeous... there are so many wonderful trees, birds and everything else you could want. It is beyond gorgeous for a walk, and you can really see God here. Its in the people, the land, the way daily life functions. It is truly a beautiful place, and I can see why people want to live here. In Suchitoto, we met sister Peggy. She is beyond hilarious and sweet. She is so animated when she talks and makes everyone laugh. She is so personable. One day my I would love to return to Suchi and discover that most of their hardships have vanished but that all of their wonderful spirit and gratitude has remained.
