Wednesday, June 6, 2012 MISSION MINISTRY Greetings from El Salvador, the country of the "hammocks" (known because many trembles of the Earth), hope to God this time you are all blessed As always each month brings his own experiences in the work of the Lord. We have had joys and sorrows, but in the end we managed to overcome everything and we have found strength and security in the Lord. SATURDAY, MAY 5. FELLOWSHIP OF WOMEN IN SANTO TOMAS Santo Tomás is a municipality located in the southern part of the Department of San Salvador, El Salvador. According to the Census of population and housing in 2007, it has inhabitants.

Unfortunately on Saturday when I was in Santo Tomas accompanying the group of women from Las Colinas we were reported that brother Jose had died. We immediately began to make preparations to have it in the Church. This day Gloria was instructing women that attended from different places in the Fifth fraternity of Christian women. The theme was: "The responsibility of the women Christian in the Church" this day at the end of the Fellowship in Santo Tomas would have the meeting of growth in the volcano at home of the sister Vilma Luna but brother José Antonio Ramírez, resident in the volcano, was carried in emergency to the Hospital on Friday and we adjourned the meeting hoping that everything went well.
