The English Regional Convention is this month in El Salvador (English from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala & Nicaragua are assigned), so we are doing the Invitation Campaign. We left at 6:30 am, traveled 1 hr by taxi to the port in San Jorge, then a 1 hr Ferry ride to Ometepe Island, then another 1 hr bus ride to the town of Altagracia). We only had a few known English contacts, so we went ahead & censused as much as possible & found 8 more English contacts, all Nicaraguan. It was a long, hot day, but very successful...realizing it was a larger territory than originally thought :-) The plan was to take the bus to a closer port, so that we could take a 3pm ferry. The bus driver forgot to stop at the port in San Jose, so we had to take the 1 hr ride back to the port in Moyogalpa...missing the 3pm boat..ugh. We ended up waiting for the 4pm ferry, then 1 hr taxi ride home, arriving at 6pm...11.5 hour day!!!!
