Hard to go anywhere without a bridge but we had to get to widows!!
The bridge is almost completed but until then here is where we cross the river.
Last Tuesday the medical people had to wait for a truck stuck in the river to get pulled out. Some of you may recognize the tractor and the people on it!
David took him back the way that he came.
The pedestrian walkway is still under construction in this picture but currently they are letting people walk across.
After crossing the river and driving as far as we could, we had to walk to widows again this month. We were a little bit late but they always wait for us!
We finished the story of Elijah and the widow with the miracle of how the Lord healed the widow's son. Most were pretty interested and listening intently . . .
A couple took advantage of sitting to 'rest their eyes'! They walk much further to widows then we do. I don't blame them for wanting to catch a couple Z's!!
We have a dentist arriving in early October so Mica was asking who needed to see him. Pretty much everyone! The cutest was the little lady who only has about 3 teeth!
Mica and Manuela have made a board to organize the different communities that we are inviting to come see the dentist. We are talking of 'busing' people in from the more remote villages around us. We will go to one of these villages tomorrow to officially talk with the community leaders and invite the people. We are praying for open doors to these communities that have been very closed in the past. In the future, we would like to add a remote clinic to some of these places to give them access to medical care and to share Jesus with them. Please pray with us for softening of hearts.
We celebrated Flor's last day of helping in clinic until after her baby is born. The girls threw her a baby shower complete with games, presents and food!
I had to play the part of "Mis Pañales"(diapers) for the 'beauty pageant'!
Here I am taking my bow after they crowned me 'Mis Baby Shower'. Only for these sweet girls will I do this EVERY time there is a baby shower!! ;) Not a lot more fun than making them laugh!
Thanks for reading! We so appreciate your encouragement, support and prayers!
