We started by attending the church that meets here at the school on Sunday. Gary MacPhee got to share a message from his heart while Chris Raber (missionary) translated. It was a great message challenging the local church to be partners in the work of reconciliation that God has given to the local church.
After church we traveled out of town to a Trout farm that one of the local Pastors started. They raise trout from fingerlings and use the trout as the source of food for a restaurant. I was the odd man out when we loaded the vehicles, so I got to travel with one of the pastors, his wife, his two kids, and his mom and dad. For those that are counting that is seven in a five passenger pickup truck. Somehow I ended up with the two boys, Samuel and Mateo on my lap. I think I will continue to try to be the "odd man out".
Here is a panoramic of the trout farm. Water flow is spring feed by gravity through the four ponds. He has done an excellent job of using the natural topography of the site to control flow.
Here is a picture of a our lunch that we ate. The fish was WONDERFUL!
On the way home, we were all tired, I think that Danika, one of the missionaries daughters was the only one the gave in.
Our day ended with our team of 13 all sharing testimonies of our lives and what God has been doing. It was a great time of sharing, however, 13 people sharing 15 to 20 minutes each made for about 4 hours of testimonies and stories.
Praises:
- We had a great conversation yesterday afternoon with the school leaders. It was good to hear their hearts.
- So far everyone is in pretty good health
Prayer:
- We are starting to get tired as we burn both ends of the candle - pray for good sleep when it is time.
- Continued health as we eat more and more different foods.
- Pray for safety - we will have teams on site doing digging of test pits and surveying for the next few days. Lots of opportunities for mishaps.
