Hey everyone,
Sorry for the delay in posting. Everything with the youth team went wonderfully! They were such a help and encouragement. And, thanks to your prayers, all of us were healthy the whole time we were doing ministry with them!
The VBS went great overall. The kids were well behaved, listened to the stories and had a great time.
The community storying had ups and downs, but has brought the biggest blessing of a young man who wants to share stories himself. His name is Paul or Pablo, or a combination of the two, we aren´t sure yet. But, he came to all the storying sessions and even told one of the stories himself. He said that God has told us to share his word with everyone and he wants to keep sharing God´s word. He is not a full believer and Christ follower, but we are sharing the story of Jesus tonight and we are hoping and praying that he will be the start of a body of believers here in Conima. Please pray that he would fully accept the Christian message and not hold on to other false religious beliefs he has been taught. Pray for him to become a believer through these last few stories we have to tell this week. Pray for other people who are coming to the stories - Blanca and Solomon. Also pray for new people to come to the storying sessions every night this week. Today and tonight pray for Jeremy L. as he is rushing to memorize the next story.
Jeremy is memorizing this story in one day because we have had more team health drama, as indicated by the title of this blog. The night before the youth team leaving Emily threw up multiple times throughout the night. She also felt nauseous some for the next few days. Then yesterday she threw up blood. Alison had also thrown up once and there was some blood in it. Because this has the potential to be serious, they went to the clinic here and then John came and picked them up and took them to Huancane where there are better healthcare facilities. Today they are undergoing testing in Huancane. Most likely their gastrointestinal systems are just damaged from being sick so much this summer, but it could possible be stomach ulcers or bacterial infections. We are waiting to hear the results of their tests. Please pray for the two girls. This is our last week here and everyone expected it to be crazy, but not this kind of crazy! We are hoping and praying the tests will come back clean and they will be able to return today or tomorrow. Please pray for God to give them peace as they wait for results. Also, pray for Kelsey, the Jeremys and me as we continue with our ministry here in Conima. Jeremy is memorizing Alison´s story to tell tonight at community storying, as I mentioned above, so pray for amazing memorization abilities.
I will keep you all updated on the girls´ health and our last week of ministry. Pray we finish strong and don´t have any regrets!
