Day Five....

I’m tired and I want the internet café to kick me out but the one night I am exhausted the guy is willing to stay till the morning. Fun. On a brighter note. Well today was interesting we went out evangelizing again with the Lenca indians. We visited the lady and her family again from the picture below from yesterday’s post and gave her a hammock and a water purifying system. Her children warmed up to me more today it probably did not help that I gave them American sweets. It is pretty funny because with the systems, one of us has to drink the water once it goes through and the water we get is normally from a dirty stream nearby and it comes out clean, So we hope, because we are giving it to them. My extra support went to the purifying systems. Today throughout the village all of their houses were built by Samaritan’s Purse in partnership with World Vision in order to get rid of a bug that lived in the thatched roofs and left a deadly poison in its bite. Many of the people who we talked to who were borderline Christians or who were confused were bitter with Samaritan’s purse because they came and built the houses sort of gave them a church and promised many things and then disappeared. It was very interesting to hear about that because Samaritan’s Purse and World Vision are very big organizations for them to just leave the people hanging with no church but the Catholic Church. It was very strange.
Hey I told Dennis we should get a group photo but half of what I say is in one ear out the other.
So my videos are not loading because they are too big so go ahead and check some of these out, there of the whole group.

************PR****************
I currently have a headache, and I am having a runny nose like none other. Please pray for David who is another team member he is actually somewhat sick. Also Pastor Carlos’s son, Carlos, was taken to the clinic tonight because he is breathing heavily because of congestion.
Again car troubles, we woke up this morning with a flat tire-different tire, Praise the Lord it was not in the Middle of nowhere.
It is towards the end of the trip and some of the tensions are rising among the immature of the group…. Pray that words that are said won’t be hurting.
Also I have not been sleeping well. I slept through a 5.0 earthquake but I can’t sleep to cats fighting outside my window….
I need sleep…..
Yo estoy cansada.
Ps My espanol is coming back.
