by Jason Hall, Team Leader | Aguacayo, El Salvador

Our team started drilling today at the school in the little town of Aquacayo. The students were excited to welcome the team with some inspiring (and humbling) words and songs of greeting, including a beautiful rendition of El Salvador’s national anthem! They were especially excited when I told them through the translator that the well was funded by Kingsland’s kids!

We reached the 130-foot depth today. Clay Lewis wanted me to remind everyone that we’ve never drilled that fast when Omar was here! 😉 But, no water yet as we are drilling high upon a hill and need to drill about 90-feet just to get back to the baseline elevation of a well that was drilled nearby last week. All in all, we expect this water well to be about 200-feet deep.

Please continue to pray for us, despite Clay’s comment!

Love you guys! 🙂
