Another big ministry day!

We spent the morning in the ministry. Pete had spoken to a british young woman on the way to Utila (a week ago) about our reason for coming. She is volunteering at the a reptile center that took us a good half hour to find in the outback. She was so surprised and appreciative that we came. We left her the book: Is there a Creator who cares about you?

It was a gorgeous day again. So we decided to go snorkeling during the noon break. Ohh, what beautiful fish we saw! One kind in particular was deep purple with sparkles all over it. It was as if they had diamonds in there scales. Gorgeous!

Afterwards, we came home, showered, changed and went out in service again! Bible studies all afternoon between the 6 of us!

Then we had to prepare for the meeting. No time to eat supper. Had to go clean up the KH from all the dust & debri before the meeting. Dave gave the cong. Bible study, Pete the Bible highlights, Pam helped me write my first spanish talk and I gave it with much difficulty but we hoped it would encourage others to not be afraid to enroll, then there was annoucements and the KM part. So many children were in attendance tonight. One family comes in 3 sessions to the meeting b/c they only have one motorcycle. So first mom comes with 2 boys, eldest boy goes home and picks up his sister in law with 5month old baby, then he goes back again to get the father.
One woman (Pam studies with her is very very poor) she gave her 15cdn dollars (equivalent) for the world wide work. We wanted to cry from her generosity. That's a full weeks grocery...
