todays adventure...

today was one of the greatest days so far. it was a long day for sure. we left at like 9 in the morning to head to teelapaa. it was a long drive. now this is where josh is gonna say, dang it, i wish i was there.... haha. it was a 3 1/2 hour off-roading expedition. we covered some of the most steepest, toughest, deepest, greenest parts of the jungle. we drove through the river like 15 times. 4x4 baby!! i got lots of video and pics of it. we stopped half way through and ate lunch that was soo good. you could hear monkeys wooing in the distance. man it was unreal. after awhile your like... i'm tired of this road. after getting to the village we talked a bit with the people there. saw the medical clinic, which was just a bamboo house. no electricity. it was pretty remote. i got lots of pics of todays adventure. after that. it was another 3 1/2 hours back home.

on the way back i got to talk with this guy named bruce. i figured well this is about the only time i'm going to be able to share Christ with him, being that i'm leaving here in two days. so we talked for a long time. he is not christian, he is a new age thinker. leans towards buddhism. nice guy, but he just couldn't get his head around the fact that there is truth, anyways, alfredo would know how this convo went just by mentioning he was a new ager. but the thing that makes me want to serve the Lord even more is that bruce is out here, on his own time, own money, never been married, had a gf. and he is wanting to voulinteer his time and strength to help the people along the border here. he wants to help set up solar powered water pumps and lighting, he used his own money to buy this stuff to bring out here, he spent $500 of his own money to just bring it here, on the flight. and hes doing all of this in the name of what? just to feel good about himself. oh... how much more i want to serve the the people and help where i can, in the NAME OF CHRIST!! because the Lord is worthy. family, pray, and seek the Lord. to where He will guide you. we get one life to bring as many people to the Lord as we can. how will you be involved in the kingdom? my heart is heavy. i'm begining to feel the burden of the people here. love you all.

in His name.
