Day 30 - Kathy Mahler, El Salvador (via Arlington, Texas)

Who would have thought it? We just love modern technology! While visiting with Sandy's sister Shelley, we figured out how to do a web cam on Shelley's computer and were able to talk to our sister Kathy who is working as a Mission Co-Worker in El Salvador, Central America. What a hoot! We had so much fun and talked for about 45 minutes.

Kathy is now officially part of our trip. She even picked up her computer and carried it around from room to room to show us where she lives. She is living in Berlin, El Salvador. She is the liaison between churches in the Central Iowa area and their mission projects in the Berlin area. There are several kinds of projects - fair traded coffee that is sold in the states, water filter projects, building projects (churches, community buildings, schools), and educational projects. If you're interested go to http://oursisterparish.squarespace.com/blog/. Here you can read Kathy's blogs and even order coffee if you so desire.

Sandy has had the opportunity to see and talk to Kathy at a friends house before, but this was so special to be able to do it with all three sisters together.
