Ana Maria prepares stuffed chicken for us Sunday afternoon at the Santa Ana Habitat office.

Karla uses the new knives given to Ana Maria by Jim Hack and Don Block.

Joe and Jodi Davis on the steps of the Habitat office in Santa Ana, an office that is more productive than all the others in El Salvador combined.

The rainy view out our breakfast room window Monday morning.  A man waits patiently to do some sweeping after last night's street market.

Francis enjoys her new English books from Dean.  Nancy Olson made a very nice book bag for the books (bag pictured on Francis's lap).

Ricardo takes pride in his luggage-packing skills outside the hotel in San Salvador Sunday morning as we get ready to leave for the church service in Santa Ana.

Have dog, will bike.

A mom and her daughter, who may be baptized soon in the nearby Catholic Church.

The front of Cristo Rey Lutheran Church, Santa Ana, El Salvador.

Front doors.

The interior of Christ the King (Cristo Rey).

Pastor Carlos, Maria, and the new church.

Jim, ringing the bell in the tower.

The floor!  It's not much to look at, but what's standing on it is what's really important.

The well-used and tattered service and hymnal books were donated by Good Shepherd members, and dedicated by Gail and Don Block in memory of their daughter, Erin.  She is shown below in the dedication, in Spanish and English.

Luke Smith, Jim Hack, and Dean Olson in front of the altar at Cristo Rey (see below).

Pam Hack Scott, Jim Hack, and their little buddy Luis, who Jim has seen here at least 3 years in a row.

Dean and Emma, who walks half a mile to come to church every Sunday.

Pastor Carlos is in the back greeting people before the service.

There is a house with a family living in it in the churchyard.  They are hard to see, but a pile of sleeping puppies are lumped together in the corner on the far right.

The back of the church.

The old church which members used for about 10 years after earthquakes destroyed the former church.

The exit gate to the churchyard.

The entrance to Christ the King Lutheran Church.

Pastor Carlos gives a warm and heartfelt greeting to the Habitat crew.

Tim Smith reads the psalm in English just after a church member had read it in Spanish.

Zack reads the first lesson from the Old Testament.

Dean congratulating Pastor Carlos for his 41 years in the ordained Ministry as a Lutheran Pastor.  Though the church is not technically in the ELCA, they are a member of the El Salvadoran version of it here in Central America.

Pam and Tim chat with one of the little girls.

Jim Hack presents Pastor Carlos with some altar linens formerly used at Good Shepherd.  They include the entire liturgical season, plus some extras.  Jim brought the linens in some old suitcases he purchased at the Habitat Restore in Champaign.  Both the linens and the suitcases are an excellent example of "What goes around comes around."

Pastor Carlos holds the altar linen for Christ the King Sunday, the namesake of Cristo Rey.

Maria Teresa Martinez holds the altar linen for what appears to be the season of "ordinary time".  (I believe this season is the counted Sundays after Pentecost.)

The woman above is named Amelia Duarte.

This woman is named Ana Maria and she also recognizes the Christ the King theme.

Luke and Luis who remember each other from the 2014 worksite at the church.

Jim and Ana Maria Montoya, who runs the award-winning Santa Ana office of HPH (Habitat Para La Huminadad)

Ana Maria opens her new knife set and block from Don Block and Jim Hack.  It is just what she needs, and she and Karla and Francis immediately start using them in the kitchen.
