This year marks 25 years for Patty and me being in El Salvador. It hardly seems possible. However, when we stop and think of our boys who were 9, 6, and 2 and are now married, and one of them has made us grandparents twice over; we cannot but stop and thank God for all his goodness and realize that his mercies are renewed every morning.

We are thankful that the work here has continued to move forward after a few years of different times due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The gospel is being presented not only in the halls but in outreach works as well. Israel Castro (commended worker) and a Scandia Assembly group have been preaching the gospel weekly in Los Laureles. The attendance is good, and several have professed to be saved. There is no assembly in the area, so we value your prayers for this new work. In the western part of the county, Mario Canas (commended worker) has been preaching the gospel in a small rural neighborhood called New York. Those who professed faith in our Saviour are now attending the local assembly of El Carmen. Please pray for this outreach.

In Pasaquina, La Union, the gospel is preached twice a week, as well as a children's class. This new work is being carried on by Carlos Rios (commended worker) and others from the Los Jiotes and Santa Rosa assemblies. On Tuesday, Carlos and his brother-in-law Elvin received permission from the local high school to give a 15-minute message from the Bible in a few of the classrooms. These classes are mandatory for the students. This is not a "Christian school," but the director feels young people need a "word from the Bible" today. Prayer is appreciated for these men as they present Christ every week. Some students now attend the weekly meetings in the rented building in Pasaquina.

The week leading up to Easter Sunday is a holiday for many people; therefore, it's also a busy time for conferences throughout the country. We are thankful that this year these meetings are back to normal. There will be six different conferences from East to west. Some of the bigger assemblies hold their own while others join together so that the 21 assemblies can meet to hear God's word and enjoy fellowship with other believers, something we have missed over the past few years.

Patty and I continue to be a steady help in the assembly in Santa Tecla, la Libertad. The meetings are all back to normal, Remembrance, Sunday School and Ministry, Gospel Preaching, Prayer, and Bible Study. We continue to be encouraged by a good group of young people coming to the Santa Tecla Sunday evening gospel meeting. We pick them up at 4 in the afternoon and, upon arriving at the hall, have a small activity with them, Sword Drill, Bible Pictionary, Bible quiz, etc.; sing, and a gospel message followed by refreshment. They range in age between 15 and 20 and are from broken homes. Some profess to be saved, so please pray for spiritual growth and salvation.
