Our Amazing God

Salvation reached to the remote village of Vasquez tonight! Last year when we were here there was a boy we met named Joseph who worked closely with Terri. Two weeks ago today he died in a bicycle accident. He was a believer who fervently witnessed to and prayed for his parents. His mom and dad asked us to come visit when they heard we were in the village. They knew Joseph loved to work with the mission groups that came in. At the end of a careful explanation of why their son is now with the Lord, they asked to pray to receive salvation. What an amazing God we serve!
Work today was tiring. I chatted with Melo earlier this evening and told her I didn't get sleep last night because a slat fell out from under my bed about the time I was falling asleep. That made today pretty tiresome. However we did progress far enough that we will be putting on lathe and clay tiles tomorrow. That means we also get to present and dedicate both houses tomorrow! Very exciting!
I have finally gotten a couple of pics to load and will try more tomorrow.
Thanks for prayers and encouraging comments!

WOW.
tears are streaming down my face, what a beautiful story of how AMAZING the God we serve is. His ear is not to dull to hear, and His arm is not to short to save!
The example you are setting for your students by following God's command to "GO" is much appreciated.
You and the people with you are in my prayers.
