JOHN AND LOIS BUENO–51 years

Posted by Elva

Young Love

Lois and I went to El Salvador, by invitation of the church there, to be pastors of a fledging church that had just had some major difficulties. We left Southern California in a Ford Falcon and drove all the way to El Salvador–over 3000 miles through difficult roads and circumstances. Most of the details of that trip will have to wait for a different occasion.

A Little Love Can Conquer Mountains

What comes to mind as somewhat of a love story is Lois’s response to a difficult challenge. Our little Ford Falcon didn’t have much punch.  We had only been married six months, and we had all our earthly belongings in it. We headed for the mountains of Guatemala and found that the little Ford Falcon wouldn’t make it up the hill. I looked at Lois and asked, “Do you want to push or do you want to drive?” Since it was a stick shift, she decided to push. She literally pushed us over the mountains in those places where the little Ford Falcon couldn’t make it. And to be honest with you, she has been pushing ever since, and that was 51 years ago. Love can be expressed in many ways. One is pushing you over the mountain.
