The US State Department Consular Information Sheet says - The U.S. Embassy considers El Salvador a critical crime-threat country. The homicide rate in the country increased 25 percent from 2004 to 2005, and El Salvador has one of the highest homicide rates in the world.
i like to learn about places i am going to visit and was surprised to read this. so another prayer request is for safety, strength, health and that i would remember all the spanish i've ever learned.

unbelievable! i have so many people that have invited me to join them on facebook but i have always said no. it just seems to me that the potential for identity theft is too easy.
i created an identity to search for someone that might be on facebook and it wanted my email address. i'm ok with that. but it also wanted my password to my email account. i'm definitely not ok with that. giving someone else my password to my email account exposes my whole life. if i have mine or someone else's personal information saved in an email that means that anyone that has access to the facebook files has access to my personal info.
there are so many stories out there about id theft / fraud - are you willing to take a chance?
people say they feel so violated when their house has been broken into because some stranger has gone through all their personal things. i think i'd be a little shaken up if someone got into my email.

El Salvador - World Vision
I received an email from World Vision asking if I wanted to go to El Salvador on Wednesday. I was so excited I was almost jumping out of my skin. It was like every nerve end in my body was exposed and I had to go to the gym to burn off the energy.
I would've applied right then and there on line but I wondered if it would've been possible to take my granddaughter (who turned 16 yesterday) with me so I needed to know when spring break was and the age limit with WV. Turns out she's not eligible.
Then I wondered about health issues. I don't really feel that I have any but a doctor might say otherwise.
I prayed about it Wednesday night asking God if it was just my desire to go or if it was part of His purpose. I woke up Thursday morning thinking of Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
So then I emailed that absolutely I wanted to go. I got a phone call yesterday saying I was accepted, I was ready to go home and start packing.
I have been praying for months for boldness and for opportunity. In August I told God I wanted to travel. He has given me a spirit of boldness and power and He has given me opportunities. And now He is given me a trip.
Actually a second trip, I forgot that I went to Salt Lake in October. He is blowing my mind.
Now the deal is I have to come up with about $3500 and find 5 child sponsors for kids in the area where I'll be working, in 2 months. The trip is Jan 25 to Feb 3. I found one sponsor already and chose a little girl on line. Her name is Milagro de Jesus, Miracle of Jesus. I don't know that she is in the right area but was told that she would be considered one of the 5. If you think I chose her because of her name you'd be right.
Considering I'm unemployed I'm not sure where I'm going to get the $3500 but trust that God will provide.
I have a few prayer requests - that I would be able to come up with the finances, that I would find lots of child sponsors, for health, for God's strength to do the job and that God would use me to bless others.

Xango
Salt Lake City. what a blast. i went to the 5th annual Xango convention. when asked if i would go i said i couldn't, i was unemployed and didn't have a dime. that was on a monday. i told God that if He wanted me to go He'd have to provide. tuesday night i got a phone call saying that if i would go someone was going to pay for me. like i'm going to turn down a free trip for 5 days to salt lake city.
there were 10,000 people at the convention, people giving testimony after testimony about how Xango had helped them. i heard a catchy phrase Xango will make you healthy and wealthy. besides all the testimonies about people's improved health there were many stories of how people's finances have improved too.
people are wanting to get healthy. people are tired of taking prescription drugs that have adverse reactions or other complications. i want to see people get healthy too.
i originally started taking Xango for pain and stiffness in my hands. at a meeting a couple of weeks ago someone mentioned that he was more alert and had more clarity. i thought oh yeah i've noticed that too.
tonight a lady said that her mom had really bad bursitis in her hips and how Xango had cured the inflammation and taken the pain away. i had totally forgotten i had bursitis in my hip 1 1/2 months ago.
i had a cortisone injection in my hip in january when i was out for foot surgery and i hadn't had any pain until august when it started flaring up again. it was so painful i couldn't imagine having a needle stuck in my hip and wondered how i could get general anaesthetic to get the hip shot. until the lady talked about bursitis tonight i had totally forgotten that xango had taken my bursitis pain away.
i swear by the stuff now, everyone i know that has been taking it for awhile and knows the benefits of it swears by it, people that i have been giving bottles to for them to try all want to keep taking it.
God created plants for us to eat which would also heal us. xango is the best example i've heard of yet that is beneficial for so many things.
someone you know that has crohn's disease swears by xango. it doesn't cure him but it relieves all his symptoms.
what is your health worth? or the health of your loved ones?
i heard someone tonight saying how xango had cured their cancer. although xango makes no such claim to cure anything, it is a food not a drug, it's testimonies from people like you and me that is exploding this juice in the marketplace.
if you were healed of something would you not tell others about it? especially if they were sick and there was a chance they could be cured or at least their symptoms relieved?
MS is one condition that responds to Xango. if you had MS would you at least not want to try anything that would slow it down, relieve the symptoms?
i'm almost getting my juice free now. i've told a couple of friends, they've told a couple of friends, they've told a couple of friends.
wouldn't you drink a juice that was so good for you if you could get it free?
wouldn't you like to make a few bucks as well.
people make money selling avon, amway, mary kay and we think nothing of spending a LOT of money on make-up. do you not think your health is worth way more.
there is a lot of scientific evidence to support xango's claims. check it out.
