Chaco days

We have had a wonderful time in Chaco and are winding down now with our last meetings tonight with the Church.

Yesterday was a very full day with a full work day, continuing the work at the new church with concrete work and ditches.  We also traveled to a nearby community and sister church to do some clearing of brush and cleaning of the church property.

While work was going on, some of the girls attended a womans meeting and had the opportunity to share a testimony.  Another group went to do a Drama of Jonah with 65 + Scout program kids.  This is a co-ed group of kids that learn scout type things but whose purpose is to teach these kids about Jesus Christ.
We also went around the community and invited kids to see the David and Goliath Drama.  Afterwards we shared individually with them about who Christ is and what he did for us.

In the evening, we had a big part in the Saturday evening service.  We did special music, shared two testimonies and Tim Owens (Assitant Director of LIFT) preached the message. My part is interpreting, which is sometimes a challenge when I forget some word in the middle of the message.
                                                      We had pig skin for lunch


Tonight we finish our time with the Chaco church with a meeting with the Youth, Sunday School time with the younger kids and then a special in the the main Church service.

Please pray for me as I continue to interpert and for us as we head for the mountains to do a mountain climb, for our last group days in Ecuador tomorrow.
