Day Off - Day 7

I should update you on yesterday, day 6 first. But before I do that I'll let you know why the blogs have not been updated in two days. The internet at Larry's house only works in the morning, so we got back day6 late and had no internet. Then day7 internet worked, so I thought good, I can blog tonight. Well we get back from our day off and the internet is down. Now its morning and back. That's their way of dealing with late bill payments! :-)

Day 6. The night before we prayed for deafness to the trucks and the town PA operator affectionately known as Miss Saigon ( strikingly similar tonality). In the morning we woke to find that the night was eerily quiet. Someone checked in the night and there were still as many trucks so clearly God answered our prayers.

We went to a remote church start to set up our program. Unfortuneately no kids showed up, but we did help the doctors start their clinic. After that we packed up our stuff in Zopoco and headed for a look at Paracho and then back home.

We got a little late start leaving from lunch as we listened to the amazing story of a missionary couple in the Michoacan. Lydia, a grandmother here, told us of her call to minister with her husband. She spoke of the years since 1948 where she and her husband trekked through the mountains year after year, enduring persecution, beatings, poisonings and the loss of one of her babies as she held him during a beating. Yet she was able to recount with joy what God has done among the indigenous people as they brought Christ to them and laboured to overcome their ancient traditions. We video taped that to bring back to you at CBC Aurora.

Day 7. A day off. We went to a hot springs for relaxation and BBQ. The water in the pool and water slides was 39C.
