Over The Hump

The climb up the hill for the first part of the week is over. It wasn't a long climb because the week is going by so fast. It will even go by faster the next two days, and before we know it, we will be making the 2:00 AM drive to the airport in Georgetown to catch our flight back to the States Saturday morning.

Today started off great. A man name Patrick that Glenn and Quincy studied with, decided to obey the Gospel. He has an interesting story in that he has been a Rasta for some time, and after a recent accident where he wa badly injured, he started questioning the truth. He was seeking, and the right teachers came along to show him the good news. Thank God.

The rest of the day went like the others so far, good studies with great people. Today we held 26 lessons with 27 people, with more lined up for tomorrow and beyond.

All day we got to experience what I think of when I think of the tropics, wet, rainy, humid conditions.  It rained more today than I can remember the last seven years I have been here. Most of us stayed soaked, but feeling good about sharing the Word. As the night classes rolled around, only 120 people were in attendance. I am blaming that on the weather. A lot of people walk here, and don't drive, so the rain will keep folks in doors. Hopefully, with better weather, we will have more people come to services tomorrow night.

Thursday will be a busy day for sure. We will go to the market early in the morning to buy fruit and juice that we will take to the hospital to give to the patients and hospital staff, tomorrow night for encouragement. There is a planned road closing at the only bridge crossing the river tomorrow, so,we will have to take boats back and forth across the river to go to and from the area of town we are working. It should be an interesting day. Looking forward to it, for sure.

'til next time........
