Ferry Flood, Fresh Water-Living Water

We are in the midst of rainy season in South Asia. Rain falls several time each day. Sometimes heavy for long periods of  time. Our attempt to get to a village yesterday was compromised by both heavy rain and the tide schedule. We had to walk in thigh deep water to get from the ferry to land. 

We visited the village where our church has funded the installation of a tube well and the boys got to help with both pumping and drilling. Later, when the well is complete, there will be a time of celebration and teaching about Living Water. 

The trip back to our hotel required a short ride on a ferry boat in the rain. 

Food, Briefing, Shower, Adventure...

We made it to our hosts' home early this morning. Enjoyed breakfast, a trip to a local coffee shop, a trip out to exchange currency.

Along the way, there have been many briefings on culture and missions. We enjoyed a hearty lunch of rice,dol (gravy) and vegetables and even got to eat with our hands!

It felt great to take a shower and soon we will leave by overnight launch for some village areas to the south. 

Internet access will be limited so I don't know when we'll be able to post again. Please continue to pray for our team a nod our work as God brings us to mind.
