We are mindful of the wind damage to Southwest Missouri that caused problems for some of our homes and the homes of many team members not on this trip.

Yesterday we were joined by little Jorge. He came from seemingly out of nowhere for breakfast and again for dinner. He is roaming the streets apparently, but he remembers that we pray and clean our hands before we eat.

Marcy has been teaching English classes in the school each day and again each evening at the church building. The classes are well received and attended. Emily is her assistant and does a remarkable job.

Lori and Melva taught ladies classes last night and are conducting Bible studies during the day.

We arranged for roof repairs on the home of a lady from the church. The adobe walls were deteriorating rapidly because of the rain

Today we are scattered in home visits and Bible studies

Tomorrow we travel to El Tule for a regional worship in the morning and to Ocotepeque Honduras for worship in the evening.

Today’s photo shows the interior of the new church building. It is ready for the concrete floor to be poured.

We are all well and healthy.

God bless you, Ralph
