Saturday, July 25th

Today, Thad and Rachel Bartlett (from Atlanta, GA who work with the Christian school) and their two kids, Mary Kyle and John Mark; Brian and Sara Bilodeau (leaders at Little Hands Big Hearts) and their four kids, Jonathan, Rachel, Faith and Andrew; Chad and I hiked to the waterfall above Trujillo. The water level was very low since there hasn’t been much rain lately, but there haven’t been many bugs for that reason either.

It was great to see Brian, Sara and the kids and the many improvements they have made at Little Hands.

For this evening, Thad had organized a meeting for an advisory board for the Christian school for which I was asked to translate. There were representatives from each of the congregations who were invited to pray for the school, its teachers and students, to share their thoughts on things that could benefit the school, and to brainstorm ways in which the school could aid the church and the cause of Christ. Though the school has been an object of criticism (One of the reasons for which Thad wanted to call the meeting was to promote understanding.), the meeting went very well. All shared important ideas and expressed support for the school and its administrators. We were all pleased with the outcome.

It’s been a good night. It’s off to church in the morning. Don’t forget that there are millions of brothers and sisters throughout the world that are communing with you.

Sleep well.
