A great trip so far...Far from much loved families and friends, but enjoying the fellowship with dear brothers and sisters...Lee Ann, I am praying for you...Thanks for making it possible for me to be here and to serve God for His Kingdom advancement in the Amazon...Duggar
Boat life is interesting and different. But AWESOME! Nothing more or less. The villagers are open to us. The kids are adorable and wonderful and the adults are understanding. I couldn't ask for anything more. I never stop sweating....or getting eaten alive. Oh well. Amazon boat life is cool! Oh, and mom just inhaled a bug. Jordan
Thank you to all who have made this possible. Boat life is indeed interesting and the villagers have been very receptive to the gospel. We ran three different clinics today...medical, dental, and eye glass. What a beautiful sight to see their faces light up when they could read their bibles once again. We also had the opportunity to do a VBS for 30+ children, and had a separate time of ministry for the men and women. Before we returned to the boat, we had a sweet time of prayer, a bible lesson and singing. They all walked us back to the boat. Apparently they don't see "outsiders" but twice a year. More later, Kathleene
Well, we went to our fist village today. I helped with VBS and blew a large quantity of bubbles. In the afternnoon i helped with Women's ministry. The women are very open!!! Boat life is good except for the first night of motion sickness for me. I am so glad God blessed us with the opportunity to go on this Trip!!! I love you Dad, Mom, Marg, and Bud! ~Ansley
Having a great time in the Amazon..worked in the pharmacy today which was exhausting and definitely more difficult without my family of pharmacists!! -Laura
Telephone communciations are not available to us right now so if you have tried to text or call, this is the reason there has been no response. God has been so good to us. The crew and the missionary team we are with are wonderful. All of our Eastwood Youth has been outstanding in helping. We had to unpack all of the boxes and luggage with meds, dental supplies, gifts for people of Amazon and then separate out into 250 bags. Adults and youth alike worked hard in the heat and humity. God is honoring us interaction with these wonderful people. Everyone is doing well and are blessed by the work we are doing. Continue to pray for us. We miss everyone..............one thing we are looking forward to when we get home is ice........a glass filled with ice! We will blog again. Please let others at Eastwood know of the blog so they can track what we are doing. We send our love and prayers for the Uganda team that will be leaving Thursday. Ginger
