Hi!! I hope you are getting the updates from Walt that he has been writing. if not, then check out the webiste. things are going well. Only one has gotten sick, Karmyn, she stayed at the church today b/c she was not feeling well. She has the flu maybe? She is feeling a little better tonight.
I LOVE it here!! Can I stay???? you think I am kidding. Well, maybe just a little, but it is amazing here. I wish you all could be here and experince what I am taking in. What a joy to get to know other believers and be so closey tied so quickly despite the language difference. In less than a week, I love these people. I have learned so much from them! Conviction abounds!! We are so blessed in America and yet despite that, we sometimes forget it!! These people have nothing, usually make $250-$500 a month, and yet they love each other so much!! They are very relational! I love it!!! (yes, mom, going to bed at 10 pm every night, up at 5:45am!! Still too early to get up!) It rained lots today, but we had camp regardless. Kids still came and still had a wonderful time. I have made so many friends. I have made one good friend of a little girl. She is the daughter of Alcides and Zulema, an elder involved at Guatire and an elder at the Catia La Mar church. her name is Sarai. No, she does not speak ANY English, and my Spanish is limited, however, I am understanding more and more. So, we tickle each other and hug and laugh with each other! I will miss her! She is so sweet. Her parents are in the Amazon with others from the church on a mission trip. She was really clingy today to me. I think maybe b/c her brother was not there and for some strange reason, she really likes me. Not that I am complaining!! I never quite understood when people say they didn't want to come home to America after the trip down here. Now I know. If I left tomorrow, I would cry probably. So, hopefully, you will all see me when the team comes home. I will call and let you know if I decide to stay. Please pray for our health, our stamina, our energy, our unity as a team, and that we would be walking by the Spirit and loving each other and encouraging each other. Pray that we would be in the word and would be growing in the word each day. Ok, I need to scoot. we have no water at the church (oh, yeah, pray that it will come back on!!), so we had to run over to the belches to shower. Oh, I love showers after a long day of sweating!! I am used to the humidity for the most part, it does not really bother me. It has not been too hot, unless I am in the sun for awhile. You get used to being wet all day long!! will think of you all when I go to the Carribean (maybe). yes, i will take pics. Love you all!!Tanya
