A message from Susan R. -
We traveled through the night and landed at a town that was hit by floods. The water covered some of the houses and left many of them uninhabitable. As we were driving through, we could see where the river came to the tops of the trees in some areas. People had to move further inland due to the destruction from the floods. Prayers are needed for those who lost their houses.
We did ministry and vacation bible school while in the village. There was a doctor on board from Bolivia who was assisted by Jayanne and Marcia. Jan and I worked the medical part as well.
There is a huge problem with parasites here, so we are giving them medication for that. We are especially concerned for a teenage boy who has stomach pain and they fear the worms are going into his liver. They are very poor and they are very happy to see us. We had a time of worship with them and the group is getting along very well. They especially like Margie and her puppet show.
We are going to another town in the morning. There are supposed to be more ill people there, but hopefully it’s not too, too bad.
The weather is hot and humid, but is about what we expected. The nights are just gorgeous and riding on the boat when the sunset is hitting is beautiful. We are really enjoying seeing the scenery along the river and all the trees. The hosts on the boat are exceptional!
That’s all for today. We will check in again tomorrow.
