Candice (3/17/11) The day started bright and early...well maybe just early. We walked to breakfast in the rain at 7 and then started devotionals at 8. By the time we left for work, the sun was shining. It was beautiful weather for working- maybe 70 but felt warmer due to the directness of the sun. We all worked so hard and made so much progress on our projects. The girls working on the Jesus film production finished the Jesus and narrator voices and are nearly 80% finished with the film, we painted most of the outside of the site building and guard house and started preparations for pouring cement and leveling ground in the back for a soccer/volleyball area and spectator seating, and a woman on site received good news from home; we all rejoiced together.
Rosa, the cook, was administered some IVs to bring home and insert herself. She was having trouble, so Grant and another nurse on site helped it to drip correctly. Also, the primary director and interpreter of the Bible translation in the native language of Quechuan, received a call that his wife's father is failing and if they have to go home now, that will be a substantial setback for them. Their names are Dave and Heidi. Dave is helping with the Bible translation and Heidi is the primary interpreter for the Jesus film.
The team is doing well physically and spiritually and getting along just great. In fact, all I can hear right now is the kids playing cards and talking in the courtyard outside my window. Please pray that this health and unity will continue and please pray for Rosa's health and for the health of Heidi's father and the tough decisions they'll need to make. We are fine, but need you to pray for our new sisters and brothers (in the Quechuan culture, they call their friends hermanas y hermanos which means sisters and brothers). Thanks for your continued support.
