"Volcano in my yard."

Another rainy afternoon on the lake.  It's been a wetter than usual rainy season marked by many landslides making it really hard on villages built on the mountain slopes and anyone who tries to travel.  Some of the areas we minister in are now 4 times further by the clock.  Our routes now go through areas known for many robberies and kidnappings, so much prayer is in order for our protection. 

Thursday we got on the little boat for a 30 minute ride to San Lucas in that the road there is impassible due to a washed out bridge.  They are aiming to have it rebuilt by late spring....(don't know what year..!)  We went to Iglesia Bethany C.A. to dedicate the water purification system we installed so badly needed there.  We have held medical clinics there, and Pastor Morales and his elders are thankful for our help as they minister and spread the gospel there. I'll be traveling there more now to check and repair the systems, and work with the elders to encourage using the system as a tool for evangelism.  "Pure water is important, but Living Water is eternal!"  This gives me seven systems of responsibility, and much thanks is due First Pres of Visalia California for their generous provision of much of the equipment and for the installation team.
