Since the internet connection is working well now, I downloaded more pictures from our trip to the remote village from last week. 

 This is A.C. and Stephen above demonstrating MMA moves while Pastor David is translating.  They relate MMA fighting to the fight between good and evil.

This is the school we went to in the village.  We handed out some of the cards the kids made at Getwell Road UMC VBS.

Abby found the card she made in VBS and she gave it to Sandy.  They became fast friends.

 

David, Monica and their family performing a redeemer drama to illustrate the gospel.

This is the dining area in the bamboo home that we stayed in.

This is the area on the back porch where I washed dishes.  They had a water source from the mountain.

This is me sharing my testimony with Digna.  Monica is translating.

This is the children playing swords with sticks of bamboo.  Their church is in the background.

This is Sarah helping Digna make fresh orange juice.  They don't have a way to keep food cool, so each meal everything is made fresh.  Any leftovers are given to the chickens and pig.

This is dinner one evening.  We were served chicken, rice, beans, salad and plantains.

This is Sandy and Abby.  Abby was crying because we were leaving early the next morning.  She was sad to say good-bye because she didn't know when she would see Sandy again.

Alison and Digna

I made Digna a scarve to thank her for her hospitality!!

These two pictures are when we had to unload our big van and walk across a bamboo bridge to make it to their village.  They didn't think that the van would make it across the water with so much weight.  The village worked for a week to make a path the last mile to their homes for the cars to make it.  They usually walk, ride a horse, or ride a motorcycle.

This is Rukaado and Digna's home.

This is the living area.  This is where we all slept in sleeping bags.

This is the dining area.

This is her kitchen.  She is a wonderful cook!!

This is the bamboo plank to the bathroom outside.  It was about 10-12 feet above the ground.

This is where we took a shower.

This is the view from the bathroom to the house.

This is one of the paintings that Pastor David painted as he explained the gospel.

Amazingly, they did have electricity, but they only turned it on at dark.  It only worked for about an hour and then we had to get the flashlights out about 7:30pm.  Therefore we went to bed early which was good because the roosters woke us up between 5-6am!!
