Thursday at Gobiado

We had a wonderful day in the village of Gobiado. The roads were the muddiest that we have been on this week. Thank you for praying for our travel each day and please continue to do so. Edgardo's truck got stuck and we went into the village with 2 of the trucks.

We learned some sad news this morning about the village before we left the mission house. The teacher at Gobiado passed away this past Friday. A new teacher has not been assigned to the village yet and the school was locked. We moved our activities to the soccer field and started with a small number of children but more and more people joined us as the morning went on.

Jaclyn told the story of Jonah and the Whale and the story of Fishers of Men. Aaron, Kameran and Edgardo all gave their testimonies. A sweet lady from the village who has a home near the soccer field offered her home so the children would have a place to color.

After the coloring, the guys all played soccer and the girls helped the women and children with some crafts.

Before we left, Jase thanked everyone for letting us spend the day with them and we prayed for them. This village holds a weekly bible study led by one of the men in the village.

Prayer Requests for Gobiado:

1.  The village will have a new teacher soon.
2.  The family of the teacher who passed away.
3.  During the last rain, the village lost their connectors and valves for their water system. Please pray that these can be replaced soon.

This evening, Yadira cooked a Honduran meal for us at the mission house. It was absolutely delicious!!!! Yadira is the hostess of the mission house and ministers to all whom enter this home. Yadira is in the process of applying for a Visa so she can visit the United States. She has an appointment on September 4 at 8:00 am. Please pray that this process goes smoothly and that she is granted a Visa.

Blessings!
