Water saga, trip to San Ignacio

Well, once again, I have been reminded that utilities are a blessing and that I too often take them for granted. This time it was our water that went out. Friday the water company turned off the water to the neighborhood because allegedly quite a few homes in the neighborhood had not paid their bills, some have held out as long as five years!! As a result, they were forced to turn off the water to get their money and because we have a neighborhood system, not home by home, everyone was affected, including those of us who have been paying. It was definitely inconvenient, but I am reminded that I am blessed to be living in a house where we have running water, some homes in the city do not have this luxury and have to haul water in buckets every couple of days. But, thankfully, the water was turned back on last night and I enjoyed every minute of my shower this morning.

This weekend, I am planning to lead the Jovenes on a trip to San Ignacio de Moxos, where we'll be teaming up with a sister church to share the Gospel with the people of the town. We'll be using our EvangeCube's that we were recently trained on. Please be in prayer for God to open the hearts of those who we'll encounter and for seeds to be planted in everyone. Of course this whole trip is still not 100% certain because of the rain factor, it poured yesterday (torrential downpour) and the road between here and there is not paved meaning if gets really muddy it is impassible. Pray for the rains to be held back until Sunday when we return.
