Buenas Dias, from Sam! It's raining in bucketsfull! But that's life in San Jose in the rainy season. Fortunately, it waited until we had finished our outdoor work, and we could be under the roof cover. We've worked most of the day at recon and planning for the education effort the next three days and walked the school rooms and yard to plan the classes. We've practiced the lessons and divvied up the work. Now it's just up to the Lord to help us to do what we have planned as El Senor would want. The late afternoon brought us an emotional all too familiar prayer opportunity. A little girl was brought into the clinic with extreme respiratory distress. Asthma is common in the land of wood-fired in-house ovens. But moist breathing treatments were not helping and the outlook is dim. We gathered around and prayed for her and her mom and obviously undernourished boy. We contracted with a local with a truck to get her and the family to the city where we hope the hospital will help. As we are unable to follow her case well, we leave them in the hands of the Lord to do what He will with them. We will continue to pray for them and hope for their safety.
Tomorrow we hit the ground running, and get an early breakfast. Then it's off to school to teach about environmental stewardship and hygeine. We see lots of positive changes since our 2009 mission, and this gratifies our hearts! Thanks for following our mission and thinking and praying for us! We love you all for your assistance and prayers for our mission. In His precious name, Sam Prepelka
