We praise God for another great day today in the village of Aguacayo!
The schoolchildren were very excited to see our team again. They immediately surrounded us upon arrival — excitedly asking us to play ball, take pictures, and a million other things that we couldn’t quite make out because they were all asking so fast, and at the same time!
The children learned some very important lessons today about health and hygiene, and simple things that they can do to help prevent sicknesses from spreading. They also played all kinds of games, like jump rope and limbo. And they learned to use soccer balls as volleyballs … a new concept, but one to which they took very quickly! Later, they sang songs like “Jesus Loves Me” aloud and also using sign language.

On the drilling side, we were very thankful today to reach water at about the 180-foot level, and we ultimately drilled to a total depth of 210 feet. We then installed the PVC casing and gravel-packed the well-bore. We have some additional work to do tomorrow, but we’re on track to dedicate this well to the school in Aguacayo on Thursday.

All in all, a very good day of sharing Water and the Word! Please continue to pray for us!
Love you guys!
