Day 4

We only did a half day of hiking today because it was time to start heading down the mountain and begin our trek home. Our team headed out in one direction, but we didn't find anyone home, so we went across the street and tried another path.
There were lots of people here! We also got to visit with a couple.
This lady was cleaning her dirt floors. They use a mixture of mud and dung...thankful I don't have to do that! Makes mopping the floor seem not so bad!

Sharing at the end of the day

At the end of the day, I was able to share with some people we had seen several times throughout the day.

It was precious hearing this young girl read the Word in her language.

Kids along the road

I was on the prayer team on this day, so we didn't visit houses, but we did get to interact with some children on the road.


Day 3 - Spider Entrance

They were not joking when they called this the spider entrance. Here is a close-up of one of the spiders.
Here is one of about a million webs that had tons of spiders ..I was getting concerned about our bathroom breaks on this day!
These men were breaking up the rock with the sledgehammer and a pole...hard work!

The team getting some information on the area.
Once we were past the spider entrance, the view was beautiful!

My time with the children

These girls were so fun! They are precious!
It was such a blessing that he showed up. This family spoke a different language, and he ended up translating for me when I was sharing with the children. How cool it was to see him sharing the gospel after he had just heard it for the first time himself when we were at his house!
We taught them the song, "I Will Magnify the Lord."
They caught on to the hand motions very quickly and I think they tried singing with us as well!
I loved, loved, loved spending time with these girls! Another heart connection! What an amazing day!!!

Day 2 Visit 3

As you can see, the boy in the striped shirt popped up at our next visit as well.

Checking out the music we gave him. He actually put it on to play right then.

Isn't she beautiful?


There's her smile!

Day 2 Visit 2

I was able to share with this family.

There seemed to be much interest in what we were sharing...so much so, that we passed on the name and number of a national that would be willing to follow up. I was very surprised to see him go inside and get a cell phone and program the number in! Hopefully they long to hear more...and believe!
Her daughter was sick and we prayed for her. Even though we were strangers that speak different languages, we made a huge heart connection that day. She is precious!
I don't know her name, but she is dear to my heart. Please join me in praying that we will see each other again in heaven!
