More reflections on our time in the villiage of Quyquyho

It's me again (Leah). We just arrived back in the Capital  city, Asuncion. I honestly have to say I miss the simplicity of the country side, the people and all of the vacas. On Monday in the villiage we did a VBS like event for the very poor part of the community. Many of the people lived in little huts made of sticks and boards. This was actualy what I was expecting to see in the main part of Quyquyho, but the peopl there semmed much better off compared to this community because their houses were nat least made of actual building materials and appeared more structualy sound. At the VBS event, we played games with the kids, face painted, did a pupet show, sang kids worship songs and Aimee gave her testimony.The kids were so proud of their painted faces.

God also did an amazing job in ordaining a meeting with some of the teenagers in the community. They ended up being a big part of our ministry even though they were not part of our initial plan, but His plans are so much greater. We spent several evenings hanging out with them. Some opened up to us about some of the issues they are dealing with in their lives and that they are so thankful that we were there to show them that there is hope in Jesus and that He does have a plan for them. Our young friends went to church service on Sunday and I heard that they do not normaly do this.  One of the teenagers accepted Jesus the other night! Prase God! It is my hope that they will continue going to church and seek the Lord. Please pray that they have people to come along side them and the the seeds that we planted will sprout and that the youngster who accepted Jesus nas her Saviour will continue to grow in her relationship with Him.

Aimee gives her testimony

Last Friday I twisted my ankle. Of course I am the one to injure myself while walking. It looked pretty bad at first as it was very swollen, hurt a lot and I could not put wait on it. I did not freak out in worry about being 3 hours from the nearest hospital, or what this was going to do to our plans. Instead I decided that it I was put out of commission, it would just be n opportunity to just spend time focusing on alone time with Jesus. I just put my trust in Him. This lack of worrying is not like me at all. I am definatly a worrier but this is something that has been changing in me and became very evident with my ankle issue. So I was praisng Him for woking on my worrying issue, as well as praising him that my ankle was much better the next day and continues to get better.
