July 5 – morning

Andrew gave a really good synopsis of our day yesterday and I added some photos that I had that related to the things he mentioned. All in all, it was a great day yesterday. In the first village, we ran into a bunch of children who were vey curious about the bus and the people who got off of it. Instead of walking up to a house, I introduced myself and told them the story (gospel eCube) that the one true God had sent me to come from a very far place to share with them. Three girls denounced the Hindu gods and believed in Christ and committed to follow Him alone.

They took us to a house where we shared with a lady (who was nursing her baby) and about 4-6 more kids, mostly boys. Another lady joined us and after the nursing mom and rest of the children (most of the boys had run off before I could take their picture (the elephants were too much of a draw, as you could tell by their screams of delight.)

The less young lady who had joined us at this house told us to go to her neighbor’s house. We did and spent some time with an elder man who liked the story but didn’t see the need. He thought that when he died, he would go to heaven, by thinking himself there. Please pray for him (his name is Mangra), that The Holy Spirit would open his eyes to the truth of the gospel and see his current belief as lies from the pit of hell. His wife was already a believer and I told her to not give up on praying for her husband, and now she had all of us joining with her in prayer.

I’m not totally sure what our plans are today, every time I post what our schedule is, the details change. I’m pretty sure we are going to two more villages with the gospel today and I THINK we are checking on the cow project at one of the pastor’s homes on the way home.

Today is starting out like yesterday, weather wise. It’s been raining through most of the night and still this morning. I sort of hope it continues longer in the day today than it did yesterday. Once the sun came out yesterday it got really hot and sticky.

Update on Gary…his fever broke in the middle of the night and though he’s still queezy, he’s feeling a lot better. I think I have him convinced to stop eating the over easy eggs for breakfast. Pray for his continued recovery and continence.
