help in field from brothers & sisters from Rivas cong

once again we caught the bus to take us to our territory. today we went south of San Juan del Sur towards Costa Rica also today some from the cong in Rivas were coming out to work along with us, they would meet us at the territory. The bus ride was about 45mins. Some got off at one spot and the others stayed on the bus to end of territory. we worked towards one another



in some areas the houses are close together, at other times there is quite a distance to next house.. . as usual the people are very receptive with bible discussions had at every home.

This family are in my cong hea. Carlos, Sara and their son Diego Caleb. He was very good. didn't complain about all the walking, actually he was having a great time.

We started off walking on a dirt road, but eventually it would become a track in places.

then we came to a river. the brothers were looking for a way to get across, eventually they came up with the solution, take off yours shoes and walk across . . . .



















this river kept appearing. we crossed it 5 times. that was 5 times of taking off shoes, walking across, drying feet (fortunately i had tissues) putting shoes back on, and preaching to the people we met in between river crossings.

what child wouldn't enjoy this kind of morning. Although he didn't get his feet wet, his dad carried him across.

                        then our brothers from Rivas arrive.. .

26 of them came i was told. it was really great meeting them. our group was split up so that we all worked with someone from Rivas.

During the morning, we met this little guy (sooo cute) and his mum. we had a nice bible discussion with his mum, she happily took the literature.
i would love to visit her again, but i have no idea by now where we are. and i'd have to catch the bus which is no problem, but i have been advised not to do anything by myself. return visits out this far are not normally done buy the cong. . . Most don't own cars in the cong, as far as i know only two brothers own a vehicle hea. everyone else get around by bike or taxi or walk or bus.

Hopefully we get to do this territory again and talk to this little guy and his mum.











by 3pm it was time for the brothers from Rivas to leave us.  the brother and his wife on the white jeep offered for me to go home with them rather than catch the bus. yay . .

Days like this make me really enjoy being here.
