The (MT) are to take a 3 hour bus trip to the next village today. They will be sleeping in that village's church building tonight. Tomorrow they hike 2 hours to the next village and there they sleep in their tents. I think he said they will be having church services and Chip and Scott will tag team in sharing. Then Sunday they hike a couple hours to catch a bus back to Entre Rios. Then another clinic on Monday.
I think they have seen about 120 children so far.
The CT are doing some finishing touches to their work; and have been asked to do some electrical work. There may be a few more small things they'd like our team to do, so it may be Sunday before they head to Entre Rios.
Erika was able to share her testimony last night. She was also able to go into one of the villages and spend some time with a couple elderly ladies. Erika was very affected by their humility and undesirable living conditions. I can't wait to hear more about her time there.
Here's an encouraging story from Chip (Erika also shared the same story with me)
He was telling Angela he noticed the Entre Rios church has been singing the same songs for the last 4-6 years. She explained that they haven't grasped how to worship. They just sing the words. There's a pastor's wife from the area who loves being a Bolivian and does not have the desire to go to America. She attended the church service at which our team of people led in worship. After she witnessed them worshipping she was greatly affected and declared if she can learn to worship like that, then she will go to America!
They are all rejoicing that God is blessing their work and plans to serve the people there!
Everyone is doing well.
If you have an encouraging story from one of the teams, please do comment! I think we would all benefit from hearing it!
