El Camino - What a ride!

When I was in high school I drove a 1979 El Camino. Yep… it was awesome. You have the car and truck all in one. We always thought El Camino meant something about the brilliance of making an automobile that combined the car and truck. Well we were wrong. I learned on this trip that El Camino means the road. We experienced El Camino yesterday – all day. We made the trip in much better time than what we did on our previous trip in April.

We arrived in Puquio around 7:00 p.m. instead of 10:00 p.m. That means Andamarca will only be 14 hours instead of 17. Somehow that makes things much easier. J

We now believe we can make the trip in one day as long as we have good notes for our future trips.

Today we will drive the last 3 hours to Andamarca and begin meeting with the people in the village. On our last trip we met some people from a church but did not have the time to investigate much of what they shared with us. They have a church service tonight and in the morning that we will visit in order to learn more about them.

Please join us in praying that God gives us great wisdom over the next few days as we gather information to use in our strategy to reach these villages with the gospel. We will also be looking for opportunities on this trip to share the gospel.

We are grateful for your prayers and encouragement. God has put together a neat group of people on this team. We all recognize that it is a real privilege to be here.
