Quick Update - by Heather

I´ve been in the internet cabina looking up guitar chords to songs to play for our morning group worship time, so I thought I would post a quick blog.

This morning we got up and had morning worship as usual. We have been reading through the book of Philippians together and discussing it. This morning, as kind of a tangent from the verses we read, we were talking about true Christian community and what the church should be like. As part of our orientation we read a lot about the early church and how they met together to study the apostle´s teaching, to break bread, to fellowship and to pray. We also talked about how they had everything in common (see Acts 2:42). Once we began thinking about it, we realized that is exactly what we are doing this summer. We are living together, eating together, studying the Bible and worshipping. We even have all our money in common. We are also sharing with others and hopefully ¨thousands will be added to our number daily those who are being saved.¨ I look forward to see how our group develops more into a loving Christian community.

Just before lunch we went to deliver more pictures. The directions to the store owned by the family in the pictures were not very clear, so we walked all up and down the main road looking for the ¨grey store across from the blue building with a lawyer´s name on it.¨ Not being able to find it, we went to the restaurant for lunch. The door was padlocked so we figured it must be closed for some reason. So, we walked a little ways to the other restaurant we had seen. We walked in and an elderly lady told us it was a restaurant, but they didn´t have any food cooked today. She mentioned something about the dance. (Tomorrow all of the children in the schools are having a dance competition that is apparently a really big deal. It goes from 10am- 2pm. All of the children have been practicing a lot.) Then she began asking us about the medical team that was here a few weeks ago. She was very hard to understand. After telling her we would come back another day, we went back to the plaza. We then heard about another restaurant, which we walked to, but it was also closed. So we went back to the house and all made our own lunches.

Not too long after we were all working on our stories or doing other various things and we got a phone call from John (the missionary). He said he was knocking on our front door. So we got a surprise visit from John and the Huancane girls, Kayla and Andrea. We showed the girls the house and talked with John about what we´ve been doing. Then he took us to the store we could not find that morning. Then we came back to the house, said good-bye to our visitors and I came here to use the computer!

Keep praying for our stories!
