God will make away and Feeding the village!

     As the team drove to Los Sanchez eager to start day two, all of a sudden we were told there was a delay on the dirt road.  We were uncertain that we could continue on and God may have different plans for us. For today would be the big Hot dog dinner and people would come from miles and hours away to see the medical team.  We prayed God would make a way.   Praise God , the large truck that was having mechanical issues was fixed and able to move on. We arrived in Los Sanchez with many awaiting our arrival. 

     Preparing for the village hot dog meal, we stopped along the way at a fruit stand to purchase bananas.  They asked for all the bananas the lady had, and praise God we have the exact amount of four hundred and five with a few left over to feed everyone in the village.  We were able to buy the bananas for sixteen dollars.  God works in amazing ways!  You know too that you can't buy four hundred and five bananas in America!

     Our team's craft time was a very precious emotional time today with the kids. The kids were to write on their crafts things what they wanted.  Instead of the kids saying material things, they actually told of things that were very humbling.  They told the ladies in craft that they wanted for our mission team to come back, they wanted God to provide for their families with food, and to bless their parents.  One little boy asked for a ball, but he wanted the ball not for himself.  He asked to have a ball so that all the kids could play with it.  Not one eye was dry in that room or our room when the team learned of this.

     Just a little more information on a few of our other things our team was able to provide to the village that we want to share.  The medical team saw over one hundred patients yesterday and today they saw ninety.  Tomorrow they will make house calls to ones that could not come to the church.  The roofing team has completed one roof yesterday and today they completed ninety percent of two small ones.  Tomorrow they will complete the second and then complete the third roof planned.  

     We ask that you continue to pray for our team and thank you for your prayers.  We are seeing God make things happen that are humanly impossible.  We had extra crafts and school supplies for special needs orphanage that we visited yesterday and will visit tomorrow! Praise God, and yes God is good all the time!!!  

With love
