¡Hola!

Well, yesturday was different... The medical team got split up and went with the church planters to help deciple. Robert Plumber and I got put on Debbie Blackwelders team with her translator Hector and a Peruvian named Deigo. I think we went to one of the highest places around Cuenca. It was pretty cool. We split up into two groups and went to different people´s houses. Debbie, Robert and Hector went in one group and Me, Deigo and some of the church ¨Youth Group¨ went in another group. I was ¨the bait¨. None of the people in my group could speak any English... I thought it was kind of funny, but it is neat how God will still work even if you can´t understand each other. We only went to about 4 or 5 houses b/c all the houses were on the side of a VERY steep mountain and we were all starting to get tired... You don´t think you would get soo tired just hiking or better yet repelling off the side of a mountain, but at 8500+ feet above sea level, the air just doesn´t seem to want to go into your lungs... After lunch Debbie and Hector stayed to deciple the new christians from the day before while me, Deigo, Pastor and a church memeber went drive around the mountain giving out flyers for the Medical Clinic today. It was funny b/c the Pastor didn´t want to slow down to give people flyers so he just started throwing them out the window while we passed by the people at 50+mph... All in all the day yesturday was pretty neat.

This is a testimony from Neal:
We went out visiting in Puate. The pastor´s wife took us out to the a christian doctor. We told her how to use the cube and the track so she could witness in the hospital she works at. As soon as we got done sharing the cube with her a ¨salesman¨walked in (aka drug dealer) and she started talking to him about Jesus and we got to share our testimonies and the Cube with him. And he recieved Jesus as his Savior and Lord. We took a bible and wrote his spiritual birthday in there and signed it with our names. How God works! She got to share the cube right after we showed her how to use it. I thought that was kind of neat how God did that.

I´m wil try to put some more testimony stories on her later tonight...Until then... ¡Hasta Luego!
