It sounds like a good day was had by all. The surgery team did 7 cases. One of the cases was unscheduled but they were able to get it done. Craig said the students fit right in with the surgery team and everyone is doing a good job.

The village team started on the water project today. Everyone had a chance to dig. Michelle and Mari got blisters from digging. Michelle said her blisters were the biggest. Also they had to go buy some kind of boots to wear while digging.

Craig didn’t know they whole story but Mari was chased by a chicken. When he finds out more about that I’ll let you know.

Pastor Simon Peter took the village team to a school today and the kids (668 of them) sang for them. Jeff said he felt like a rock star beacuse the kids were so excited to see the team and they wanted to come and greet them.

Jeff also found out he looks like a guy, named Salvador, on the popular soap opera there.  

The team also did some hut to hut evangelism. Bonnie has never done hut to hut and she was very appreciative of the evangelism team. Jeff asked a man if he had ever heard of Jesus Christ and the man answered “yes, but I have never seem him”. 

A former team member, Lynne Dobson, gave a donation to the hospital to help purchase a generator. Having a generator at the hospital is a true blessing. They will no longer have to worry about loosing electricty, which is something that happens from time to time. Lately vandals have been climbing electric poles, cutting the wire and stealing the copper to sell. Purchasing a generator couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you Lynne. 

Until tomorrow………….
