Well, the morning started early with a 5:00 am wake up call. After a quick breakfast, the team assembled and we left out of our compound and headed to a little village called Santa Ana about 30 minutes up the road. We were met by the local village dignitaries who welcomed us, thanked us, and then offered up very heartfelt prayer before our work commenced. The drilling lasted all day, and by 6:00 pm this evening we had drilled down to 215 feet. We encountered three productive aquifers during our drilling today, so a completion of a productive water well is within reach.
The women on the mission team spent their day teaching hygiene to the local women and children of the village. They also spent time doing arts and crafts and telling Bible stories to the children and women who seemed so eager to hear God’s word. Before the classes were held the ladies walked all over the village and met many of the women and children in their homes. The people were so kind and hospitable.
Quote of the day came from a few of the children who were visiting with Victor Resendiz and Jacki Lammert. When the children were asked if they knew Jesus, they warmly replied, “Yes!”. Then, Jacki asked how they knew Jesus, and they responded by saying, “Loving one another, respecting one another, and always telling the truth”. Powerful considering these children were between the ages of 10 and 13. Victor told them that he and Jacki could see God’s love in them through their smiles and joy of having the Mission Team here in their home.
Until tomorrow,
Los Doce
