It is Saturday night already! What an awesome day we had. The women finished their quilts and we gave them ribbon, pom-poms, trim, etc so they could decorate their quilts. They really went wild when they decorated them! They are so creative. It was so awesome to see their smiles, laughter and talking to one another. We each made up a little packet of things to give to the woman that we worked with. We included, a lip stick, finger nail polish, hair bands, a comb, emery board, and lip gloss. They said that they are coming to church tomorrow with their nails done, lipstick on and hair done up. They each gave us a hug goodbye. Some will not be joining us tomorrow for worship because the live so far away. Some walked up to 4 hours just to get here. It would take us 9 hours to walk there. It just shows how physically (it's mental too) fit they are.This is walking through the jungle, up many muddy and slippery paths. It's interesting we can complain because we can't find a parking space close to the door.
Kathy, you asked about info about the junge. It rains alot, very muddy and you slip and fall and get mud all over you when you take a walk through it. Lots of very tall trees (banana trees, etc), vines, very tropical looking. There are no monkeys here because they have all been eaten. Believe it or not we saw pigs, cow, chickens and horses. Not quite what you would expect. I did take lots of pics. Looking forward to showing them to you all!
Tomorrow we leave this area to stay with other missionaries at another compound. I hope to get a good night's rest. Love you all!
Teresa, Glad to red your comments. Pray you are not too beat-up from all the hiking! The women are truly blessed by you, and all the others, you give so much of yourself! I am excited to see you on the eve of your birthday I truly miss you! I can just imagine the stories of how God worked through all of you. We made it home from Cleveland late last night 6.5 hours of driving in the snow. No results yet from the debate. I love you and miss you greatly! Your Bob
