Great day......

After church, and lunch, today we went home and Joyce and I did some home work with the kids. Then we all loaded into the truck and headed out to La Confiensa, a village where we had drilled a well and made two exceptional friends in Armando & Kevin. We were returning to take a Bible to Armando's father who had accepted the Lord a week earlier, but we also had some clothes for both Kevin & Armando that our kids were in between sizes.

We found both of the boys and gave them their new shorts and they were ecstatic and then as we headed out we handed out toys to children along the road. We stopped at Armando's house and gave his little brother a pair of great shoes that no longer fit any of our children (he was barefoot) and we were about to leave when Joyce pointed out a mother and daughter watching us from across the road. Joyce asked if we had anything else, but all we had was another Bible. I asked the woman if she could read and she said yes. Then I asked her if she had a Bible and she replied, "no".

When Joyce handed her the Bible she beamed the brightest smile I think I've ever seen. As we were pulling away we looked back and there she stood with the open Bible in her hands smiling from ear to ear. She looked as if she had just won the lottery...even better!!!
