Brrrrrrr...

Wow! We are super cold in the jungle--Yesterday, it was 98 degrees; however, in the night, a storm rolled in from the South. Today it was only in the 50's which is freezing for us here. The drastic drop has been causing many to be sick today and church was very intersting as the chairs blew away. The church has no walls of course. The pastor was preaching on psalm 23 and had just finished saying that God is our Shepherd/Pastor...and the wind blew so much that the roof shook. He said, "Hey, aren't you glad He is?" Tonight it is 40 some degrees colder and since we only have screens, it is chilly. We have one room finished with windows (Victoria's), so she was sheltered last night -- PTL!

Please pray for our counterparts in Bolivia. They are being evacuated b/c of civil unrest. Two single ladies are arriving here as we speak. They are teachers and will be helping us out at SAM Academy.

Our Open House was a success this week; we had alot of fun too. The kids displayed their work and many parents and other missionaries attended. It was my first official duty as Adminstrator. School continues to go well.

My talk at the ladies retreat went well too. I saw a few of them at church today, and they again said how much they appreciated my sharing. A few of them went home and shared my testimony with their families as well. We will be meeting each Saturday afternoon from 4-6pm. I am praying the Lord will continue to build these relationships and help me with communicating in Spanish. Thank you for your prayers.
