We are into our fourth straight day of rain with only small breaks over those days. It's not always raining hard but it is raining. However, so far the water has not returned to flood the villages.
We went to visit our night guard Jose this morning and had a nice surprise. When we entered his house he was sitting up in bed wearing a jacket and sock hat and watching TV. Quite an improvement from two days ago when we he could barely role over in his bed. Tomorrow we will buy some more Ensure. He has been drinking his three cans a day - just like the nurse (Cindy) ordered. Please pray for Jose because we think there may be some other health issues besides the pneumonia.
It has been cool here (ok, cool is relative but even Cindy is wearing a jacket at night sometimes). We're kind of liking it. Our teammate went down to the school this morning to talk to Thelma (the school principal) and Thelma was in her room wearing a sweater, a jacket, gloves, a sock hat, and shaking because she was so cold. Like we said - cold is relative.
Tonight, Brad preached again completely in Spanish. But this was the first time Saul (who speaks English and helps him out when he get stuck) didn't go with him to help him. Brad decided he needed to go by himself to learn how to do on his on his own because Saul will not always be able to go. Brad thought it went ok. Not great but ok. At least the people seemed (or at least acted like) they understood and the pastor asked when he could come back. (hum, wonder if the invitation was because they liked the teaching or strictly for the entertainment value?)
