It is Tuesday early morning, Bom Dia!
The Amor E Esperanca medical clinics are up and running at a brisk rate. We are averaging 150 patients every day, in villages that are relatively small. People are coming from all over. Today we will be at a larger village with several hundred people. As always God is keeping us supplied with the exact medicines we need to treat the illness we are seeing. The medical needs in these villages are great. We are seeing many infected wounds, and respiratory infections, as well as the usual parasites, worms and rashes. We have made numerous "house" calls to people who are too sick to walk the short distance to the clininc area. Pray for healing for these sweet, appreciative people- that they see the power of God first hand.

Monday was the best day yet for VBS. We had beautiful outdoor classroom and over 70 children attended with open hearts. There were fun games and crafts including newly decorated foam visors. Several of the teens helped with VBS and helped make the songs and games fun for the children. Most of the children prayed to receive Christ in their hearts. After the prayer of salvation the children made irridescent butterlies to represent how they are changed into new creatures in Christ just as the caterpillar changes into a beautiful butterfly.

We have also had some free time and several brave teammates have gone alligator hunting in the evenings after worship service. Yesterday we also had some free time in the afternoon and went swimming in the river near the village. It rained last night and this morning at sunrise we woke up to a beautiful rainbow to remind us of another of God's promises to us all.
Please continue to pray for our health and that the Holy Spirt will soften the hearts of these beautiful people.

What a glorious update from your team. I can hear Sue repeatedly saying "Tchau!!!" at the end of each day as the boat is pushing away from the village, followed by the return echo of many children's voices from the shore... all the way here in Granbury. May His blessings continue to abound in and through you all. My family and I have you all in our prayers.
