i have arrived!

hi everyone,

i hope you are all well! first of all, thank you so much to those of you who supported me in going on this trip.. i want you to know that the Lord has used you in incredible ways already, and i know He will continue to do so..

i set up this blog so i can keep you all informed about what im doing here and what our ministry looks like..

we have had a very sweet last couple days, from arriving on the plane until now.. we are settling in to our house, which i share with the three other guys on my team, jeff joe and brandon.. we absolutely love it! [i will post pictures online soon] we have had the privelege of meeting layo and luchy, the national/regional directors.. they are incredible people, with an incredible vision and heart for the people of el salvador.. they stayed all through the civil war and raised their kids while a third of their fellow salvadorians fled to other countries as refugees.. you will be hearing much more about them..

earlier today, we actually got to do a little ministry! we visited one of the campuses we will be working on, universidad evangelica, and got to be a part of their weekly meeting.. campus crusade in el salvador is called 'vida estudiantil'.. we introduced ourselves and had conversations with the students.. it was really exciting to talk with students that we have been praying for for many months already!

i have already started to pick up on the spanish much better, i am understanding most of what the students say, and i can respond back fairly well.. my three years of high school spanish are flooding back, and i have such a strong desire to be able to speak to these students in the language of their hearts.. i still have a long way to go before i could be considered bilingual, but it has only been 48 hours.. hopefully i will get there!

here are a couple ways to contact me:

- skype: my user name is trevor.d.miller
- email: trevor.miller@mac.com
- phone: 1 (661) 347-0594
- when you call this number, it will actually dial my computer in el salvador, while your phone sees it as simply making a local call! technology is amazing yeah? feel free to call, it works really well.. you can leave a voicemail too..
- paper mailing: it would be so much fun to get a paper letter! im not sure how much it is, you would just have to ask at the post office i guess.. here is my address:
