We arose on Thursday morning to another fabulous breakfast by our cook Vania (Vahn-yah). There is no way anyone lost weight on this trip even though we worked our tails off! Another long day of nailing the floor boards in place. Our team has worked extremely hard & we can finally see the fruit of our labor materializing. After lunch, Joaquin, Elvis, Evandro, & Glenn set out to the local hardware store which ending up being 25 to 30 km (about 18 miles) away by speedboat. It took us about 3 hours round trip because we had to shut the outboard motor off to paddle through several inlets that were impassable with the motor down. We ending up pulling up to a beach front store that was very small (see photo) but seemed to have everything. It was an such an isolated, remote place to have a store run by what looked like like a teenager. Mike, Pastor Chuck, Pastor Samual, Elvis, & Betty went to visit a family in the next community of Amador. They went to pray for an 88 year old women who was suffering from coughing & pain. They ended up ministering to about 20 peaople, 14 of whom accepted Jesus as their Saviour (can I get a hallejuhah?).
In the evening, we had a worship service attended by about 40 people from the local community. Amie & Glenn gave their testimonies also at that service & it was very well received. We also had a couple more people accept Christ! We have absolutely seen God move mightily in this community in us & through us.
