i really don't have much to say except for my praise to God for yesterday. when the day started, moral was pretty low because of the girls' bites and the lack of tools, but our kind and gracious hosts told us after lunch that we could go to the beach. the ocean provided some group healing, as God often uses water for that purpose.
last night we learned from Anne, a missionary here who is from Newburg, OR. she is helping women here build a financial life by giving them $75 trust loans, which means that if one doesn't pay back, everyone has to compensate for her's. it sounds like they have a pretty tight nit group. they meet once a week religiously and some of the women walk 3 miles into town to come. they are learning to have their own business, they make tortillas, and other things to sell. the community is so poor, but there is a redeeming spirit that surrounds Verbo Church.
the girls are up, smiling.
another great breakfast, and another great day ahead of us.
love - susie
