Today we challenged each other to increase our efforts, during our devotional. Our challenge is the long lines of people needing service, a very cold wind and finding a place to get fed. The Lord provided. Louisa Toledo, Ruben's wife and another lady, member of their church in Huancane came in for medical service and voluntered to cook lunch for us in our apartment. How they did it with limited cooking utensils I will never know but it was by far the very best meal we have had while in town. God bless these two Christian women. I jockingly told them that there would be no charge for the medical service.
It was also a challenging day with a few difficult patients and some complecated cases but our people are all professionals. The core of the group out of Port Neches have done this several times and are totally devoted to Christ and to the Mission program. Our director, Steve Travis, is a very well organize individual who seems to be everywhere at the same time. I love brother Travis.
I had re-connected with Sofia Toque who owns the store next to our apartment. Her husband, Andres, is the nephew of the owner of the apartment. We deal with Sofia on all matters pertaining to our stay there and get wonderful response with the help of her daughter. Sofia's husband was due back into town today so she agreed for us to come by at 7:00 and continue discussing the bible with her. Pam Donaldson and I were assigned to do this. Unfortuantely, when we arrived, we found out Andres had already scheduled a local group for a meeting at their store so we had to post pone our meeting until the next evening.
Several other private visits worked out well and our "Storying" session was, again, well attended. Out of that we made a couple of good contacts. Fortunately there enough of us so we can split up and take care of all our home visits.
Personally I am a bit apprehensive since meeting people on this basis is a little foreign to me. But after our devolional and a prayer I went to bed feeling much more confident.
