We had a busy Tuesday in Cabana. Got to meet with quite a few people. The 2 highlights of the day were meeting with two ladies on separate occasions. The first lady was in the clinic where we discussed a relationship with God for 2 hours. She was hearing something different than what she had in the past and it was neat to see God working in her. We met with a shop owner later in the day for about an hour and a half again discussing a relationship with God and how it comes by faith and not our works. Again, God is working in her. The people seem to be wrestling with the truth from the Bible and that is great.
Today we started out early again and found a few men unloading adobe bricks from a truck for a house/bookstore. We asked if we could help and they didn´t want us to because they were concerned we´d get dirty. We insisted. I´ll post more later.
Ok, sorry for the abrupt end yesterday ... my time on the computer was up:) The men let us help unload the truck. It was a great experience to work with them in an assembly line. We did get dirty too:) We felt that yesterday should be a work day, and not being able to get in touch with one of the believers to see if we could help him, we decided to walk outside of town and see if we could find anyone who wouldn´t mind some help. About 30 minutes outside town we found a lad sowing in a field and she let us join in. We pulled weeds and tilled the soil (with 2 small pick-axes). After the first field was done she invited us to her second:) That one proved tougher as it hasn´t been churned up as much by the bull and plow. We then had lunch with her an another lady she was working with. Before eating, the main lady just started praying and you could hear the thankfulness in her voice. They gave us almost all the food they had to eat - just amazing. We shared some of our food with them too. They spoke Quechuan so it was difficult to communicate, but the main lady said she wished someone would come and teach them from the Bible - we really wished we could.
Thanks for praying for us and supporting us. God is working here and we´ve enjoyed being a part of it.
We leave on the trip back to Lima at 2AM tomorrow - please pray specifically for that trip as it is quite intense.

Sounds like an incredible time of sharing. God's Word is so good!
Adam - Today in my devotional, the author talked about Psalm 84:7 and why we hate change. At the end, there is a quote that says "When you stop changing, you stop leading." God is changing you, shaping you in this experience. I'm so very honored to be your wife! I love you and am looking forward to talking with you tonight.
What a wonderful memory that will be. Praying for you all!!!
Adam,
What a great experience you are all having sharing the word with people who are so eager to hear and learn. What a wonderful thing to do by helping the lady in her field, that is really getting down to the core.
Dad and I pray for a safe return back home we miss you very much.
Love,
Mom & Dadnu
