Once again God revealed to us how much we take for granted. Mike and Lynn were able to go to the Mayan village today. Their assignment was to tell Bible stories. They began at the home of Rudolpho. He speaks both Spanish and Mayan. The boys asked if he had ever heard the story of David and Goliath. He said no. The guys could not believe he had never heard the story. After listening to the story Rudolpho went to the next home with the guys and this time he told the story. In this village where many adults do not read, story telling is how the biblical message gets passed along.
The ladies attended the English bible study of Jonah. Then tonight we helped throw a block party. Mike showed ultimate servant hood by dressing up as a chicken to bring in the crowd. It did not have the desired effect. One child went crying and running to her mom. Even though we had a rough start we eventually drew a good crowd. The children had lots of fun. They took home many beany babies and lots of prizes. We shared with parents about the church. It was a great success.

Thanks for the many prayers.
