T minus 17 Days

Today I happened to be available to instant message with the young man who served as our translator two years ago. He is living and going to school in Finland now (a language phenom he is) but he will be home on break the entire time we are in El Salvador. Since translating will be a better (and more interesting) source of income for him while he is home, we are making arrangements to see how many days he might be available to help us out. His mother used to work for the church, but due to the staff cuts around Christmas time, she was laid off and their 14 year old is doing his best to create an income for them. This seems to be a win-win all around.
