Hola Puerto Rico!

We arrived at 5:15am, and went straight to bed. After some z's, we joined Carroll Christian Schools for some pinchos on the beach! They were very tasty. Afterwards we went in a ride around Old San Juan. We also got our last member that flight was delayed. Tomorrow we'll be participating on the church service. We are ready to do God's work!
