Saturday - Visits, Donkeys, & Shopping

To all who are praying - THANK YOU!! This trip is so different than the last one! Today we went up to our two villages and prayer walked. As we went, we spoke to everyone we met, inviting them to our VBS and an adult Bible study. We met so many wonderful people and had the opportunity to pray with them.  There were people who we recognized (and who recognized us!) and there were new faces. We met a lovely lady who is eighty-eight years young and still full of fire. We also got to pray with Señora Susanna about her health and the health of her sister, Sylvia. Her picture is below. Please keep this family in your prayers. 

We had some adventures this afternoon as well. We had lunch at a favorite landmark of ours… we call it the "big rock".   

The young ladies on our team had a new experience, also. They got to ride a donkey! :)

After we returned to Canta, we walked a few blocks to the shop of a sister in Christ, Mercedes. We worked out some details regarding church services this week, as well as shopped 'til we dropped. No pictures - don't want to ruin any gift surprises. I even have an appointment with her tomorrow afternoon to learn a new crochet technique. EXCITED!!

Well, dinner is headed to the table! Keep praying! Specifically, lift up the residents of our villages, Lachaqui & Carhua - that they will come to the various activities we are providing and that their hearts will be open to hearing the Gospel.
